Q: I need to register my car. What do I need from the Tax Collector's Office?
A: If motor vehicle taxes are unpaid, you will be unable to renew vehicle registrations with the Connecticut Dept. of Motor Vehicles, per Conn. Gen. Stat. 14-33. Past due motor vehicle taxes must be paid in full by cash, cashiers' check, money order, MasterCard, VISA, debit card or ATM card in order to receive immediate DMV clearance. You must pay a fee of $5.00 per name, per year in order to receive a clearance (stamp or paper) for DMV. ALL outstanding vehicle taxes in your name, including taxes not yet delinquent, must be paid in full in order for a release to be issued. If you must pay your past due motor vehicle taxes with a personal check, you will not receive a clearance for DMV for 30 days.

If you have questions about what you owe, please contact the Tax Collector's Office at (203) 854-7731 or by FAX at (203) 854-7770.

Please note that you may pay your taxes by credit card either over the telephone by calling 1-800-2PAYTAX or by logging onto www.officialpayments.com. See below for more information. The Norwalk Tax Collector's Office window does not accept credit card payments. Debit or ATM cards are still accepted, however.
