The office of town clerk can be traced back in its origin to the first
settlements in the State, which were made under proprietary land grants
in the Province of New Hampshire.
Today the major duties of
the clerk include caring for and preserving the town records, recording
vital statistics, issuing permits and licenses, and acting as an
election official. The Town Clerk registers all motor vehicles except
off road vehicles, motor scooters and mopeds. The Town Clerk also issues
motor vehicle plates. Other duties include writing reports,
administering oaths, and furnishing information to townspeople and to
other local and state officials.
The Tax Collector's major
duties include the issuance of all taxes assessed to property owners
such as property, current use, yield, excavation and resident taxes. The
office collects all monies owed on taxes current and past due. The
office is charged with the liening and deeding process on all past due
taxes as prescribed by the RSAs.
The Town of Northwood has a
combined office of Town Clerk/Tax Collector pursuant to RSA 41:45-a. The
