Helpful Government of Guilford
The Borough of Guilford, incorporated in 1815, was consolidated with the Town of Guilford by a special act of the General Assembly in 1939. At that time the borough as an entity ceased to exist. The Current Charter of the Town of Guilford was last revised in 2001 and included updating the legislative and executive functions of the town government.

• A citizen of the age of 18 or more who, jointly or severally, is liable to the town for taxes assessed against him on the assessment of not less than $1,000 on the last completed grand assessment list. This includes motor vehicle as well as real and personal property.

The Annual Town Meeting takes place on the second Monday in May. The Annual Budget Meeting/Referendum takes place in April. In addition, special town meetings can be called by the Board of Selectmen when they deem it necessary or upon application of at least 50 people qualified to vote in a town meeting.
