A: For taxes your tax town is your town of residency as of October 1. For taxes due in July 2007, and January 1, 2008 on the grand list of October 1, 2006, your town of residency will be determined by where you were living as of October 1, 2006. If you moved from Norwalk after October 1 2006, but still reside in Connecticut, you will still pay vehicle taxes to Norwalk. Municipalities within Connecticut do not apportion motor vehicle tax bills for portions of a tax year. If you register the vehicle in another state, contact the Assessor's Office.

If you move, you must notify the Department of Motor Vehicles of your new address within 48 hours. Be sure that you request a change of address on your driver's license and on your vehicle registration(s). Note that D.M.V. records require you to make the change in two distinct areas - license and registration! Postcards for this are available at the Tax Collector's Office or the Police Department

If you move from Norwalk but remain in Connecticut after October 1, 2007 AND properly change your address on your vehicle registrations and operator's license files at the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, you will be billed by your new town of residency in July 2008. If you fail to change your address with DMV, you will still be billed by Norwalk. Be sure to contact the Tax Collector in July if your vehicle bill does not reach you at your new address. You are still responsible for paying your bill on time even if you do not receive it in the mail.This is the case whether you are billed by the City of Norwalk or any other Connecticut municipality.

Taxpayers are responsible for seeing that taxes are paid when due. regardless of whether or not a tax bill is received in the mail. Interest and other costs, including collection fees, are charged on ALL late payments.
