Residents
If you are a new resident or property owner, please feel free to stop into Town Hall to say hello and pick up your welcome packet filled with helpful information about the Town. Below you can find some of the information included in the packets.
Chief of Police Welcome Letter
Voter & Municipal Election Information
Declaration of Property Status
2023-2024 Committee Application
2024 Trash Recycling Yard Waste Calendar
Town Code specifies the manner in which trash should be handled.
It has been our experience that many residents will take this opportunity to clean garages and yards, while others will gather the attic treasures that have accumulated over the years and are now expendable. (This is not for yard waste pickup)

Village Volunteers is a nonprofit organization the enables older adults to remain safe and independent in their homes.
The Village to Village program has been successful in other communities on the Delmarva Peninsula like Bethany Beach, Ocean View, and Lewes as well as communities all over the US and England. Because of the interest expressed by some Fenwick residents, we are sending this survey to the Fenwick Community.
These results will be sent to an independent exploratory committee unaffiliated with Council or other Town officials. Please note that the Village program is a separate and independent entity. While the Town Council is not officially endorsing this program, Town officials thought it would be helpful to share this information with those who might be interested.
Any additional questions should be directed to info@villagevolunteer.org.
