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.
