Online Fax for Massachusetts Government Agencies
State, county, and municipal offices in Massachusetts use fax to move public records requests, procurement paperwork, regulatory filings, and notes between departments. A faxed submission produces a dated confirmation, which is convenient when an office needs to show a filing arrived by a deadline.
Regulations & Compliance
Fax use in Massachusetts government sits within the Commonwealth's records retention schedules and the Public Records Law, which can make a faxed document and its transmission log subject to disclosure. Offices that report up through the Secretary of the Commonwealth and follow statewide administrative standards are expected to keep official communications for the required retention periods. Storing fax logs alongside the documents themselves makes responding to a public records request and an internal audit far simpler.

Yes. Larger plans support multiple Massachusetts numbers, so a clerk's office, a permitting desk, and a procurement team can each run their own line. Picking those numbers is free, which makes it easy to route incoming faxes to the right department.
Plans start at $12.99 a month, with higher tiers for offices that send a lot of pages; an office that reaches its monthly allowance moves up a tier rather than paying anything per page. That generally costs far less than keeping physical fax machines and dedicated phone lines across multiple buildings.
