Manchester, NY Public Records
Manchester is an incorporated village in Ontario County, New York, with an estimated population of 1,630 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2024 estimate) and 1.1 square miles of land. That is down about 33 residents since the 2020 Census base.
🏢 Manchester Village Office
Manchester's own village government keeps its local records: council or board meeting minutes, local ordinances and resolutions, local permits and licenses, and its own budget and contracts. Requests for those records go to the village clerk under New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). In New York, city, town and village clerks commonly serve as the local registrar of vital statistics (birth and death records for events in that municipality), and town and city clerks issue marriage licenses, so ask the clerk's office first.
