PROPERTY TAX BILLS

Tax bills are due July 1, 2024 and must be paid by or postmarked by Thursday, August 1, 2024 to avoid interest.  Interest accrues at 1.5% from the due date of July 1st for a total of 18% per year.  Please be aware that if your payment is late the interest rate is 3% from August 2-31st. The minimum interest charge is $2.00 per bill.

As the town navigates the best way to refund/credit some taxpayers for the unanticipated increase in revenue due to the error in assessments; please be aware that any estimation that the taxpayer makes on their own that results in an outstanding amount due will make you liable for the interest on the balance of that account. 

REVISED TAX BILLS

Real Estate tax bills that had the wrong assessment have been updated and revised tax bills have been mailed out.  These new amounts are also available online with the tax bill lookup link above.  These affected tax bills (only) have an extension of time to pay which is August 31, 2024.  All other tax bills need to be paid by August 1, 2024, to avoid interest.

Peak Foliage Hike - Conservation Commission

October 22, 2023
1:00 pm

Peak Foliage Hike on Sunday, October 22, 2023, to Box Mountain Forest 

The Bolton Conservation Commission will host a 3-mile, peak foliage hike on Sunday, October 22, 2023, to the Box Mountain Forest, beginning at 1:00 PM. Participants should plan to meet at the Freja Park kiosk behind the Bolton Commuter Lot across from and down the road from Georgina’s Italian Restaurant, 275 Boston Turnpike, Bolton CT 06043.

The 117-acre Box Mountain Forest was inducted into the Old Growth Forest Network (OGFN) in April thanks to landowners, Mark, and Jamie Summers. This newly designated parcel will allow us to witness changes in a natural forest proforestation - in perpetuity. Proforestation is a management strategy that allows some forests to evolve as self-sustaining and climate regulating ecosystems. Keeping some forests intact as nature preserves is invaluable. This has become a crucial step as a climate change countermeasure. The OGFN Box Mt Forest is a rare gift to the future.

Commission members will be on hand to help identify the diversity of trees along the way to an amazing stand of Chestnut Oak. From the vista on Box Mountain near Sal’s Cave one can enjoy the colorful view into the rare Bolton Notch/Valley Falls watershed and Bolton Notch State Park.
