NEWS FROM THE TAX COLLECTOR OFFICE
LAST DAY TO PAY CURRENT PROPERTY TAX – MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2025
Tax Bills were mailed out at the end of September for Motor Vehicle, Personal Property and remaining balance due for Real Estate accounts AND are currently available to be viewed and paid online. These bills became due October 1, 2025, and must be paid by or postmarked by November 3, 2025, to avoid interest. Interest accrues at 1.5% from the due date of October 1st, for a total of 18% per year. Please be aware that if paid late the interest rate is 3% for November 4-30th. Minimum interest is $2.00 per bill.
What if I do not receive a tax bill?
Not receiving a tax bill does not invalidate the tax and/or interest. If you did not receive a tax bill you can check online and print it out with the above link and/or call our office.
Motor Vehicle Accounts: Please make sure to check your car registration to make sure it is still active, which could be the reason why you did not receive a tax bill. If there is a lapse in your registration, please call the Assessor’s office. They can add it on to the tax rolls once your registration has been renewed to avoid multiple tax bills being due at a later point.
Real Estate Accounts: If you escrow your taxes to be paid by your mortgage lender your tax bill was sent to them for payment.
If you recently paid off your mortgage, switched mortgage companies or now pay your own taxes, and you did not receive your tax bill please either use the link above to find your account or call our office to get a copy of your tax bill.
If you receive a bill that your mortgage holder is supposed to pay, please call and forward the bill to the mortgage holder so they have time to process and send the payment.
Payment Options and Information:
CHECKS ARE DEPOSITED ON THE SAME DAY THEY ARE RECEIVED. PLEASE BE SURE TO WRITE OUT YOUR CHECK CORRECTLY AND HAVE IT DATED FOR THE DAY PAYMENT IS MADE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
If you use YOUR BANKS BILL PAY, please be aware that a check is mailed to us WITHOUT a US postmark.
If we receive payment without a US postmark after the delinquent date, your bill will be considered late, and interest will be due. The guaranteed delivery date from your bank is not considered the same as a postmark per state statute and will not be used as such. If you proceed using your banks bill pay, please have payments mailed to
Tax Collector, Town of Bolton, 222 Bolton Center Rd Bolton CT 06043.

Delinquent Motor Vehicle bills have been reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Please pay your tax bill as soon as possible to avoid having your registration held up.
It will be necessary to have all accounts paid to be able to register a vehicle.
Please make sure you pay your taxes at least 2 weeks before you need to register your vehicle to make sure you have no compliance issues regarding delinquent taxes. You can check DMV’s online services under compliance issues to make sure you are clear before you go to DMV. If you need clearance before those 2 weeks, then you will need to make your payment with cash, money order, credit/debit card online or in the office.
Please make us aware if you need a release for DMV as it is not immediate. An immediate take-off can be provided upon request for convenience to the taxpayer, but it may not always be available immediately when needed.
IS YOUR CAR REGISTERED? Check your cars registration or check on DMV’s online services for your registration’s status.

PLEASE BE ADVISED The Town of Bolton is under contract with TaxServ Capital services for the collection of some of the Town’s delinquent taxes. If your account has been sent to TaxServ, you MUST call them to discuss your account and arrange payment. If you call the Tax Collector/Assessor, we will direct you to Tax Serv for payment.
Reasons why your account(s) may go to collection.
- The amount of tax owed with no consistent payments being made.
The tax office takes a lot of time to make sure that delinquent tax bills are mailed out every month to our taxpayers. Please consider making monthly payments when you receive your bill. This can help to lower the amount of interest you are paying and make it easier to register a car when it is needed.
- If you owe more than 1 year without consistent payments being made.
- If you have moved out of state and have not paid your taxes.
If you receive a bill from us in July that means your vehicles registration(s) were actively registered in Bolton as of October of the previous year. You will be responsible for paying Bolton property tax even if you live in another state. Please make sure you have registered in your current state and your plate is cancelled on the CT State DMV website and send the Assessor’s Office a copy of these documents, so that we may adjust your bill if needed. It is important to do this as soon as possible because the state statutes only allow the Assessor 2 years from the Grand List date to make an adjustment to the tax accounts.
There will be additional fees if your account(s) are turned over to collection so please get in touch with the tax office and make a payment if delinquent.
