How do I file a claim for damage resulting from a pot hole or a fall on a city sidewalk?  Obtain a claim form from the City Clerk's Office or download the form from the Legal Department webpage.  Then, file the claim with the City Clerk.  Note: road defect claims must be filed within 30 days from the time of the accident.

How do I get a copy of the deed for my property located in Salem?  Visit the Southern Essex District Registry of Deeds, located on Federal Street in Salem.  Many deeds recorded in the past 20 years can be found on the Registry's website www.salemdeeds.com.
