My GPS brought me to an empty building near a church, not Town Hall, what happened?

The old Town Hall, which is only used for special functions, is still listed as Town Hall on most internet searches. If your GPS brings you to 1131 Center Road, that is not the address for our current place of business. Our offices are located at 9 Citizens’ Hall Road.

How do I start a business in Lyndeborough?

There are three kinds of businesses that are allowed in the Town of Lyndeborough. Commercial operations are allowed in those areas of town zoned for Industrial or Light Industrial use. Home businesses are also allowed in town. Finally, agricultural operations are allowed in all parts of town. The Planning Board has developed a form for people to complete to determine whether their business requires review by the Planning Board as certain home businesses are subject to review by them. Upon receipt of the Applicant’s Home Business Application Form, the Planning Board will inform the Applicants if further review is required.

What do I need to do if I want to pave my driveway?

A permit is required to pave your driveway, to ensure that drainage and other concerns don’t impact town or other property. The Road Agent is the one to issue all paving permits. Applications for paving permits are available on our Documents page.

What do I need to do if I want to put in a driveway, either permanent or temporary?

A permit is required to construct a driveway to ensure that drainage and other concerns don’t impact town or other property. The Road Agent is the one to issue all driveway permits. Applications are available on our Documents page.

What do I need to register my car?

• New to town? Click here.
• New vehicle/new plates? If it was a private sale (not through a dealer), bring in the Bill of Sale or Title. All people named as buyers must be present to sign the paperwork. If you purchased through a dealer, bring in the Town Clerk’s copy of the Application for Title that the dealer filled out for you. Please also bring your photo ID.
• New vehicle/old plates? Follow the steps for a new vehicle with new plates. If you want to use the registration/plates from a vehicle you no longer have, you need to bring the old registration with you (you do not need to bring the license plates). If you can’t find that registration, we can provide one for you to use for the transfer, but the State requires us to charge $15 for it. This will allow us to apply whatever credit is left on the old registration to your new registration.
• Renewing a registration? Please bring either your old registration(s) or the renewal notice you are sent each year, and your photo ID.
