In 2009, Michael Hartman, the Hartland town assessor, and Tom Arlington, Royalton’s town assessor, started talking about consolidating their jobs.
There’s been a merger.
As of July 8, Hartman, 43, began assessing for both towns. Arlington, who retired as assessor July 7, retained his position as building inspector in Royalton.

What are the savings for us?....
The merger is saving each town about $15,000 a year, Royalton Supervisor Richard Lang estimated.
So, how do they make it work?....
Hartman, who is also the Hartland building inspector, can work out of either town hall. On Mondays and Thursdays, he sets up business in Royalton. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, he’s in Hartland. The towns have the same database.
