UPDATE FROM THE TAX OFFICE: 

Real Estate tax bills, based on the temporary rate of 31 mills, were sent out at the beginning of August.  These bills MUST be paid by September 2nd. If not paid by then, interest will be added to the account.  Please go to the Tax Collector’s department on the website on how interest is calculated.

If you use your banks bill pay, please be aware that a check is mailed to us without a postmark. If we receive ANY payment after September 2nd without a postmark it will be considered late. Please see payment options under the Tax Collector’s department for other means of paying. Interest cannot be waived per state statute. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the taxpayer from the responsibility of paying taxes or interest.

If your mortgage company will be paying your tax bill, the tax bill went to them for payment. If you have questions as to whether they will be paying the bill, you should contact your mortgage company to find out.

If you are supposed to pay the tax bill and you haven’t received your bill, please call the tax office or you can look it up online here: TAX BILL LOOKUP

Motor Vehicle, Personal Property, and the remaining balance due on Real Estate Accounts will be billed by the end of September to be paid in October with a delinquent date of November 3rd. These bills will be based on the recently adopted mill rate of 32.3.

Adopted:           By the Board of Selectmen February 22, 1994

Published:         Manchester Extra, March 3, 1994

Effective Date:   March 18, 1994


Pursuant to Section 12-129n of the Connecticut General Statutes, which may be amended from time to time, the Town of Bolton, through its Board of Selectmen, does hereby establish an optional program for municipal tax relief.

 

Section I – Eligibility Requirements

 

All participants must qualify under the provisions necessary to receive state tax relief under C.G.S. Sec. 12-129b to 12-129d; 12-129h; 12-129i or 12-170aa to 12-170cc.  Participants must own real property in the Town of Bolton and that property must be their principal and only residence.  Deeded Life Use shall be treated in the same manner as under the applicable State program.

 

The eligible property tax shall be for the owner-occupied residence, building lot, and qualified outbuildings.  This program shall not provide assistance for industrial/commercial properties nor the portion of properties considered excess acreage parcels that may qualify for other State or local tax relief programs.

 

Qualifying income levels for participants will be set at the same levels as for the applicable State programs and adjusted annually in the same manner as the applicable State programs.

 

Section II – Benefits

 

Eligible applicants will be granted a reduction in their tax liability calculated by multiplying a local factor, to be set annually by the Board of Selectmen, by the State program benefit.  In no case will the reduction in the applicant’s tax liability, as calculated by adding together the relief from all State and local programs, exceed 75% of their total tax liability for that year.  For the first year of the program, based on the October 1, 1993 Grand List, the local multiplier will be (1).

 

Section III – Administration

 

This program shall be administered in the form and manner prescribed by the Assessor for the Town of Bolton.
