Supplemental motor vehicle bills (vehicles that are registered after October 1st) are mailed in December. Supplemental Motor vehicle tax bills are issued when a vehicle is purchased after October 1st and before July 31st.

*Online payments do not reflect the account until the NEXT business day*

If you have delinquent motor vehicle taxes and need to register a vehicle with the Departments of Motor Vehicle, payment must be made with cash, money order, or certified bank check for a release to be issued. If payment is made by personal check, a release will be issued to the DMV after 10 business days.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not invalidate the tax or interest due. As owners of the property, taxpayers are responsible to know when their taxes are due. Failure to have received a bill does not exempt the taxpayer from payment of all taxes and all interest charges and collection costs, per Connecticut General Statutes 12 to 130 and 12 to 146. Interest is charged to all late payments. There are no exceptions to this policy.
