If a payment is received or US Postal postmarked after August 1st/ February 1st, it will immediately be subject to 3% interest (1.5% for July and 1.5% for August/ 1.5% for January and 1.5% for February). Interest will then continue to accrue at a rate of 1.5% per month (18% annually).

Contact the Assessor’s Office at 860-828-7067. DO NOT IGNORE YOUR BILL! You may be entitled to an adjustment.

This means that at the time the tax bills were printed, there was an unpaid tax bill in your name from a previous billing cycle. The bill you have just received does not include any prior year's delinquencies. Call the tax office at 860-828-7023 for a grand total of what you owe.

Since all unpaid Motor Vehicles are reported to the DMV by the tax office, you must pay any and all Motor Vehicle taxes under your name by cash or a certified check in order to be cleared electronically by the tax office. Any back taxes paid with a personal check will not be released for TEN days from the date the check was deposited.

Call the tax office at 860-828-7023 and we will send you a duplicate bill. If you have an escrow account and the real estate tax bill was sent to you, please forward the bill to your bank. If you own property in town and do not escrow with a bank or mortgage company and did not receive a tax bill, please call our office. Failure to receive a bill does not invalidate the tax or the interest that accrues if the bill is not paid on time.

Pay your real estate taxes on time. Any real estate property with an unpaid balance of ANY amount will be liened on June 1st and that lien will be filed on the land records in our Town Clerk’s office. If a property is liened and the taxes are subsequently paid with cash, said lien will be removed immediately. Delinquent real estate taxes can be paid with a personal check but any liens involved will only be released after 10 business days from date of deposit.

You can refer to the receipts you received when you paid your bill(s). If you no longer have those receipts, please refer to the link below for instructions on how to generate a list of all taxes paid in the previous year.
