Public Documents

Each year the City of Dover releases dozens of public documents that state various facts and statuses on projects. Reports from the Finance and Public Works departments are released annually in regards to the City Budget and Water Quality, respectively, but there are also several more available as seen below.

Electronic Forms
In an effort to help expedite applications and to save our citizens time, we will be publishing electronic forms that can be filled out online. Applications with "(e-form)" next to them can be completed online.

Tip for larger documents:
If you have an older computer or slow connection speed we recommend right-clicking on the link and choosing the "Save As..." option. It will download in less time directly to your computer and you may view it separately from there.

To view our public reports, you must have the Adobe Acrobat Reader which provides high quality formats of documents and is available for free. If you do not have this software, click on the Adobe Reader Icon and follow the steps to download it from the Adobe website and you should then be able to read and print the Adobe Acrobat public reports.
