Tax Collector
Yes, it’s 2nd installment time again! The 2nd installment of taxes is due the month of January 2023. You have 30 days to pay, and they are delinquent after February 1st, 2023. If your mortgage is escrowed, your physical tax bill will be mailed to the bank. As you can imagine, our office gets very busy at times. So don’t wait in line, click here to pay your taxes online.
There is a charge paying by Credit Card, but just a $2.00 flat fee for e-checks.
Supplemental Motor Vehicle bills are also due the month of January 2023. A supplemental bill is issued when you either purchased a new vehicle after October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, or your registration expired and was renewed after October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
If you want us to send you a receipt, please enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope along with your payment and the taxpayer portion of your bill.
When making your request for a Motor Vehicle adjustment, 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: jsypher@essexct.gov or kabercrombie@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).
