If you intend to park at the lake or go to the Transfer Station this summer, you need to have the ROUND GREEN STICKER on your windshield to gain access. The lots are being monitored by police and will ticket any cars without stickers. If you do not have this pass, you will need to fill out this application and print it out.




Once complete, you may do one of the following:

* Mail it to Town Clerk's Office, P.O. Box 29, Marlborough, CT  06447 
* Scan and email it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
