New Milford Public Records Access
Public records in Connecticut are governed by CGS §1-210, which says most government documents must be open to the public. The New Milford town clerk at (860) 355-6010 is your first call for records requests. You can ask about vital records like birth and death certificates, land records, marriage licenses, and meeting minutes. The clerk's staff will tell you what forms are needed and what fees apply.
The definition of a public record under CGS §1-200 is broad enough to cover most documents a town office creates or receives. New Milford follows these rules, and the clerk's office is set up to handle requests from residents and non-residents alike. If a record is not available through the town, the clerk can usually point you to the right state agency.
For phone directory lookups tied to public records, the clerk's office is the single most useful number. One call can answer questions about what exists, how to get it, and how long it takes. The New Milford phone directory keeps coming back to this office because it sits at the center of so many common requests.
Court and Legal Phone Numbers
New Milford is part of the Litchfield Judicial District. The Connecticut Judicial Branch offers an online case lookup tool at jud.ct.gov/lookup.htm that covers civil, criminal, family, and housing cases statewide. If you need to speak with a court clerk by phone, the Connecticut Judicial Branch website has numbers for each courthouse.
Court clerks field questions about case status, filing procedures, and scheduling. Knowing your case type before you call helps the clerk route you to the right division faster. Small claims, family matters, and criminal cases go to different clerks, and the Litchfield district courthouse handles all of them for New Milford. Many residents find that checking the online lookup first and then calling with specific questions works best.
The Connecticut Secretary of the State at portal.ct.gov/sots also maintains records that overlap with court functions, including business filings and registered agent information. These are searchable online and complement the phone directory when you need both records and direct contacts.

The fastest route to any New Milford phone number is the official town website. The New Milford site lists departments with direct lines and keeps the information current. If you cannot find what you need online, the main town hall line at (860) 355-6000 can route you.
