About

The City of Salem’s Office of the Mayor is responsible for making sure visitors, businesses and residents get high-quality services and assistance within its jurisdiction. It is accountable to residents and municipal employees alike and aims to handle constituent services in a concise, business-friendly way. The City’s website brings together quick links to common services, such as certificates and licenses through the City Clerk, along with news and announcements for the community.

City news offers a sense of Salem’s civic calendar. Recent announcements have covered a Repair Cafe hosted by Zero Waste Salem, a test of the downtown mass notification system, an Indigenous Peoples’ Day flag raising at City Hall, road closures for the annual Zombie Walk and the Witch City 5K, and plans for the Haunted Happenings Grand Parade. In October the City has also offered free 30-day Bluebikes memberships to people who live or work in Salem.
