Greenland approves marriage package and notary fees; clerk to test new hours
Summary
The Board approved a $150 marriage package and notary fee schedule (residents $3, non-residents $5) proposed by Town Clerk Amy Bauer and agreed to test revised office hours beginning May 4, 2026.
The Greenland Board of Selectmen voted April 6 to implement fees for Justice of the Peace and notary services recommended by Town Clerk Amy Bauer and to test revised clerk office hours beginning May 4.
Bauer proposed a $150 marriage package that would include the license, certificate and a Justice of the Peace (JP) service, noting similar offerings in neighboring towns and that the package would be presented in a decorative envelope. She also recommended charging $3 for notary services for residents and $5 for non-residents to help recoup certification costs; the town currently has four JPs and three notaries. Bauer said she has configured point-of-sale tracking and income measurement with the town’s software provider.
Bauer proposed new office hours to start May 4: Monday and Tuesday 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; Wednesday and Thursday 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.; and Fridays closing at 2:00 p.m. She told the Board the change responds to public demand and would not alter total payroll hours; the hours will be tested through the summer and adjusted if needed.
Selectman Heather Droesch moved to implement the JP and notary fees beginning May 4, 2026. Laura Malloy seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
