Tax Collector

IF YOU ARE A NEW HOMEOWNER, WE WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO THE TOWN OF ESSEX!

Just in case you weren't informed at closing about when Real Estate taxes are due, there are two installments, payable in July and January. Only one bill is provided in June for both installments. Please contact your bank to see if payments have been arranged. If you will be paying your tax bill directly, contact our office to have a bill sent to you for the January 2024 payment. You may also view and pay your bill online by clicking on the Pay Taxes Online link

For your convenience, you may drop off a payment in the green mailbox in the parking lot. It is located to the right of the brick crosswalk, on the opposite side of the ballot drop off box. You don't need a stamp as it is not affiliated with USPS.  

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).
