Directory of Offices for the
City of Norwich, New York

Local government in the City of Norwich is easily accessible. From the Office of the Mayor to the City Tax Collector, the doors are always open.

In many communities the government remains isolated from the citizens it serves. In Norwich, city leaders are a vital part of our community. They live and work among us. They know our concerns, for they are their concerns too. The pages linked to the left will provide you with names and contact numbers for our various offices. All offices may also be reached by e-mail at info@norwichnewyork.net
