FAQ - Question 16

Q: My real estate bill is supposed to be paid by my mortgage company. What should I do?

A: If this is the case, your Consolidated Tax Statement should bear the notation, "Escrow Account" in the "Due" section on the portion of the statement where your property tax (real estate) and sewer use are listed.

If your bill is supposed to be paid from an escrow account but your bill does not indicate "escrow," please call the Tax Collector's Office immediately at (203) 854-7731. If time is of the essence, please make a copy of your bill, circle the dollar amount of the real estate payment or sewer use due, write your loan number on your bill, and immediately forward it to your escrow agent or mortgage company with a note explaining the situation. The appropriate address for this purpose should be given in your mortgage payment coupon book. Then, notify the Tax Collector's Office as soon as possible.

Payments are due by Friday, February 1, 2008 to avoid interest.

Please read your tax bill carefully! You are responsible for seeing that your property taxes are paid when due, and interest is charged on all late payments, regardless of the reason!
