Why am I being charged interest?
Failure to pay in full on or before August 1 or February 1 will result in a late payment with interest charged at 1.5% per month (18% per year) computed from the due date of July 1 or January 1, per Connecticut State Statute C.G.S. §§ 12-145. Minimum interest charge is $2.00.A postmark date from the U.S.P.S. is used to determine interest.
Can interest be waived?
No! The Tax Collector does not have the authority to waive interest and makes no exceptions. As owners of property, taxpayers are responsible to see that taxes are paid when due.
What if I never received a tax bill?
Failure to have received a tax bill does not exempt you from payment of all taxes and all interest charges. (CGS 12-130) If you do not receive a bill for which you are responsible for, call the Tax Collector’s Office at 860-283-4271 and request a copy.
My current bill states BACK TAXES DUE on it. What does this mean?
Our records indicate there are past due taxes in your name or on the parcel of property in question. Please call the Tax Office at 860-283-4271 for further information. Delinquent taxes and interest must be paid in full on a specific property before payment on current bills can be accepted. Any payment you send in toward your current taxes will be applied to the back taxes. (CGS 12-144b).
