Town of Stratham

What Town of Stratham does

The Town of Stratham is a municipal government entity serving residents of Stratham, a small community in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, USA, established in 1716. It functions as the sole provider of local public services within its jurisdictional boundaries, including property tax collection, vital records, vehicle registration, permitting, road and cemetery maintenance, waste management, parks and recreation, police, fire, and emergency management. Service delivery is executed by roughly 20 direct municipal employees across departments (Public Works, Town Clerk & Tax Collector, Assessing, Planning & Zoning, Building & Code Enforcement, Police, Fire, Parks & Recreation, Finance, Emergency Management) and supplemented by contracted partners for specialized functions: Casella handles curbside trash and recycling collection, Dragon Mosquito Control administers the mosquito surveillance and treatment program, and Genasys provides the citizen-facing emergency alert platform. The Town also licenses the Revize CMS for its public website (strathamnh.gov) and operates an eB2Gov online payment portal for taxes, motor vehicles, and dog licenses.

The Town's revenue model is anchored in property tax assessments administered through the Town Clerk & Tax Collector, supplemented by fee-based revenue from a municipal Transfer Station (household waste, recycling, construction debris, electronics, appliances, furniture, and mattresses), building and regulatory permits and licenses (building, dog, marriage, notary), and $10 annual resident permit stickers required for Transfer Station access. Transfer Station fees follow a unit-pricing schedule effective January 1, 2026, ranging from $3 (small propane tanks) to $175 per cubic yard for heavy construction debris, with no charge for bagged household waste and recycling. Communications with residents are multi-channel, combining the official website, E-Notify email subscriptions, Select Board newsletters, the Genasys emergency alert system, public hearings, and the Stratham Police Department's Facebook page. Infrastructure footprint includes approximately 80 lane miles of public roads maintained by 6–7 plow trucks during winter operations and a Department of Public Works facility at 70 Bunker Hill Avenue.
