Property Tax Bills
Tax Bills will be mailed out by the end of June AND will be viewable and payable at that time. These bills will be due July 1, 2024 and must be paid by or postmarked by August 1, 2024 to avoid interest. Interest accrues at 1.5% from the due date July 1st for a total of 18% per year. Please be aware that if late the interest rate is 3% from August 2-31st.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 do not receive a tax bill you can check online and print it out with the above link and/or call our office if you still do not find it.
Motor Vehicle Accounts:
Please make sure to check your cars registration to make sure it is still active which could be the reason why you did not receive the tax bill. If there was 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 later.
Real Estate Accounts:
If you recently paid off your mortgage, switched mortgage companies and 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.

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 a 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. You can check DMV’s online services under compliance issues to ensure you are clear before you go to DMV. If you need clearance before the 2-week period of time, then you will need to make your payment with cash, money order, credit/debit card online or in the office.
Please make us aware you are requesting a release for DMV as it is not immediately taken off.
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 was 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 to lower the interest you are paying, making sure you can pay the balance if need be when you have to register, and to avoid your account(s) going to collection.
- If you owe more than 1 year without consistent payments being made.
Taxes should be paid when they are owed, or a payment arrangement made on the account should be made on the account(s) before the registration needs to be renewed or when a registration is needed. - If you have moved out of state and have not paid your taxes on time.
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 register in your current state and send the Assessor’s Office a copy of it, 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’s 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.
