Braintree Town Hall

Braintree Town Hall is the center of local government for Braintree, home to the mayor’s office and the departments that handle elections, licensing, public health, and other town services. Residents turn to it for voter information and early voting schedules, election results, dog license registration, and updates on trash and recycling. The town also publishes a community newsletter, The 02184, and a weekly snapshot of what is happening around Braintree.

Public health and community programs run through town government as well. Seasonal family flu clinics are held in Cahill Auditorium, and residents can take part in a community health assessment. Climate resilience work includes the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness program, which recruits community liaisons, and free PurpleAir air quality sensors for residents. Throughout 2026 the town is hosting themed events to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence.
