MASTER PLAN PUBLIC HEARING: Update
The Planning Board held a public hearing regarding the updates being made to the Surry Master Plan on Wednesday, June 25th, at 7:30 p.m. at Surry Town Hall. The meeting began with a brief presentation by Master Plan Committee Chairman Matt Goodwin, highlighting key aspects of the plan. After that groundwork was laid, there was both an open discussion and a question-and-answer session. The overall reaction from the residents was both positive and encouraging.
After the public hearing was closed, the Planning Board deliberated, and a motion was made and unanimously approved to adopt the 2025 Master Plan Updates.
Congratulations and thank you to the Master Plan Committee, Southwest Regional Planning, and all the residents who contributed during the town survey and the public forum. Without your effort and ideas, this update would not have been possible.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM TOWN CLERK: Yearly Dog License
This is a reminder that all dogs should have been licensed by April 30th as required by New Hampshire state law (RSA 466:1). At the time of licensing, it is also necessary that the owner furnish to the clerk verification from a licensed veterinarian that the dog has been vaccinated against rabies. Dogs registered after June 1 are subject to a $1 per month (or any part thereof) late payment charge.
If your dog is not licensed by July 10th, 2025, according to NH State Law (RSA 466:13 &14), owners will be notified and become subject to a $25.00 civil forfeiture fine as well as a $7.00 processing fee. The fine and fee are in addition to the regular yearly dog registration and are due within 15 days of receiving the notice.
To prevent notices for dog(s) you no longer own, it is the responsibility of the owner to notify the clerk so that the town records can be updated. Please email: townclerk@surry.nh.gov
The Town Clerk issues dog licenses during their regular office hours: Monday, 3 p.m. – 6 p.m., and Thursday, 5 p.m.-7 p.m.
