Clerk-Treasurer
Darmstadt, Indiana
Hometown Proud
Greetings Darmstadt residents!
Hi, my name is Mallory Lowe, I have proudly served as your Town Clerk-Treasurer since 2007.
My family and I have been residents of Darmstadt for many years. My husband and I were married at the Bauerhaus in 1999.
We love our town, our neighbors, churches and schools. We believe Darmstadt is a wonderful area to live and raise a family.
Since we are a small town, I am blessed to be able to work from home and be with my two young sons. If you ever have any questions about our town government, current issues, town council, budget, billing, investments, projects, etc., please give me a call or send me an email. I love to hear from our residents and neighbors.
Building & maintaining this website for our town has been enjoyable. If you have any ideas on things you'd like to see added to our town website, please let me know.

Over the years, all Municipal Clerk offices have become the direct link between local government and the residents of the community and general public.
The Clerk is the historian of the community, for the entire recorded history of the town and the people is in his or her care.
The eminent political scientist, Professor William Bennett Munro, writing in one of the first textbooks on municipal administration (1934), stated: “No other office in municipal service has so many contracts. The work in this office demands versatility, alertness, accuracy, and no end of patience. The public does not realize how many loose ends of city administration this office pulls together."
These words, written more than 70 years ago, are even more appropriate today.
The Municipal Clerk is the oldest of public servants in local government, along with the tax collector. The profession traces back before Biblical times.
