Overview

The Somerset Board of Selectmen is comprised of three members, each elected to serve a three-year term.

The Board of Selectmen also serves as the Board of Health and the Licensing Board, responsible for issuing such licenses as alcoholic beverage licenses, Class I and Class II car dealer licenses, common victualer, and automatic amusement licenses, among others.
