Brookhaven is the largest township in New York, and an end-of-the-year report from Town Clerk Kevin LaValle shows it.
“I want to take a moment to personally thank my clerk's office staff for their hard work and dedication,” LaValle said in announcing the extent of the office’s activity in 2024. “Their diligence and efficiency” made it possible for the town to issue:
* 11,353 parking permits for persons with disabilities
* 2,638 marriage licenses
* 2,212 marriage certificates
* 3,718 new birth certificates and 6,700 certified copies of birth certificates
* 3,023 new death certificates and 27,467 certified copies of death certificates
* 4,231 dog licenses
* 700 boat leases and 189 additions to our marina waiting list
“This is just a portion of the work we do on a yearly basis. Our office is one of the busiest Town Clerk’s offices in the state, and so much gets done thanks to the incredible team behind it,” LaValle noted.
Looking ahead, the Clerk said he’s excited to continue collaborating with the Town’s IT Department to further advance his office’s technology and build connections to local organizations to gain insights and strengthen services. He flagged the upcoming completion of the Regional Record Center in Bellport as a major milestone, allowing the town to partner with other organizations to maximize data management.
“As we move forward, we remain deeply rooted in the history that brought us to where we are today. Thank you to everyone who has supported our office this year—I’m eager to see what we can accomplish together in 2025,” LaValle concluded.
