Notice to Taxpayers
As owners of property, taxpayers are ultimately responsible to make sure taxes are paid when due. Failure to receive a bill does not exempt the taxpayer from payment of all taxes, interest, liens and collection fees, per Connecticut General Statutes 12-130 and 12-146. Each year the last on-time payment date for the first installment is Aug. 1. The last on-time payment date for the second installment and supplemental bills is Feb. 1. The only exception to this rule is if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, in which case it is moved to the next business day, per Connecticut General Statute 12-169.
Late payments are determined by official U.S. postmark. Payments postmarked or dropped off on time do not accrue interest if processed after the deadline. Late payments are subject to interest at the rate of 1 ½% per month, or 18% per annum from the due date, as required by Connecticut General Statutes 12-130, 12-145 and 12-146. The minimum interest is $2 per installment.
