Where can I purchase a boat launch pass?

The Public Boat Launch is located at the end of Island Lane and is open from May 1st through September 30th. Daily passes are available at the launch for $7.00 but you may purchase a seasonal pass at Cambridge BP Gas, Cambridge Piggly Wiggly and Town Hall.

When, where, and how do I pay my property taxes?

That’s easy!  You can pay them in person during normal business hours, or place them in the drop box to be processed the next day.  If you’d like a paper receipt, include a self addressed stamped envelope and one will be mailed out to you.

The 2nd installment of your taxes is due to Jefferson County and they send reminders out in May.

Does the Town of Oakland have a compost site?

Yes, we have a compost/grass clippings area located behind the Town Hall. Grass clippings, leaves, garden waste and branches can be dropped off. Woodchips, compost and salt/sand mix can be picked up as they become available. Curbside brush pick-up takes place every 3rd week of April and 3rd week of October.
