The Tax Collector's Office makes every effort to show all your past due accounts, if any, on your Consolidated statement. Any past due taxes must be paid in full before payment on current bills can be accepted. Any payment you remit will be applied to past due taxes and interest charges first. Past due notices are sent to taxpayers semiannually usually in March and October, in addition to the semiannual tax billings, which are sent in June and December..

If real estate, sewer use, or personal property taxes remain unpaid as of March 20, 2008, tax liens will be applied in accordance with state statute.

If motor vehicle taxes remain 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 also must pay a $5.00 fee per name, per year for each motor vehicle registration release for the 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.

Please Note: The Tax Collector's Office window no longer accepts credit cards for tax payments. For information on how to pay by credit card, please click on the item below. Debit and ATM cards are still accepted at the Tax Collector's office.

If personal property taxes remain unpaid, the Tax Collector will execute a levy against your business property, goods and chattels, in accordance with state statute. Also, you will not be reissued a health permit by the Health Department until your taxes are paid.
