Town of East Hartford

What Town of East Hartford does

The Town of East Hartford is a municipal government entity incorporated in 1783 by the State of Connecticut, serving approximately 50,000 residents in a single town east of the Hartford metropolitan area. Operating under a strong-Mayor form of government (adopted 1967) with an elected nine-member Town Council and Treasurer, the Town delivers the full spectrum of municipal services — public safety (Police, Fire with 5 stations, EMS), public works (146.3 miles of roads, 22 public buildings, 350+ vehicles, 26,000 tons/year waste and recycling), parks and recreation (650 acres, 19 parks, 500+ programs, 10,000+ annual registrations), libraries (Raymond and Wickham Memorial), senior services, youth and social services, health and human services, crisis intervention, permitting and inspections, tax collection, and vital records.

The Town operates a unified digital services platform built on CivicPlus infrastructure and integrated third-party tools including ViewPoint Cloud for building permits, SearchIQS for land records, MyRec for recreation registration, a GIS Mapping System for property and spatial data, an online tax bill pay portal, the EH Alert Network for resident notifications, East Hartford Pulse for community engagement, Community Connect for fire/emergency communications, and the East Hartford Fiber City municipal fiber optic network initiative. Distribution is delivered through both physical channels (Town Hall at 740 Main Street, Public Works at 1 Ecology Drive, plus libraries, the Senior Center, and the Community Cultural Center) and self-service online portals.

The Town's revenue model is tax-and-fee based: property taxes (real estate, personal property, motor vehicle) are the primary stream, supplemented by building and trade permit fees, zoning and inspection fees, transfer station and recycling fees, vital records and licensing fees (birth/death/marriage certificates, dog licenses, liquor licenses, trade names), and competitive procurement for town contracts. As a government entity, the Town has no parent company, no venture or private equity ownership, and operates exclusively within Connecticut.
