The 2nd installment of taxes is due the month of January 2024. You have 30 days to pay, and they are delinquent after February 1st, 2024. If your mortgage is escrowed, your physical tax bill will be mailed to the bank.  

Supplemental Motor Vehicle bills are also due the month of January 2024. A supplemental bill is issued when you either purchased a new vehicle after October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023, or your registration expired and was renewed after October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

You may also view and pay your bill online by clicking on the Pay Taxes Online link.  There is a charge paying by Credit Card, but just a $2.00 flat fee for e-checks.

For Motor Vehicle adjustments, please send or fax verification of the change to the Assessor's Office: (860) 767-4340 ext. 123 or 124, or fax: (860) 767-8509. To send an attachment by e-mail: assessor@essexct.gov.   

If you have not received your tax bill, make sure to contact us! Failure to receive a tax bill will not protect you from being charged interest on delinquent payments (CT Statute Section 12-130).
