The Village Offices are located in the Historic Watts dePeyster Hall, located at 86 Broadway, Tivoli New York, 12583.

When searching for Village Hall online, you may see “1 Tivoli Commons” listed as our address. It’s the same location, and yes, its a bit confusing!

To add to the confusion, we do not receive mail delivered to our physical address.

Please send any correspondence to P.O. Box 397 Tivoli NY 12583-0397, otherwise, it will not be delivered.
