I have moved. What is my tax jurisdiction for motor vehicles?

Your tax town is your town of residency as of October 1. If you move from Essex after October 1, but still reside in Connecticut, you will still pay vehicle taxes to Essex. Municipalities within Connecticut do not apportion motor vehicle tax bills for portions of a tax year. If you register the vehicle in another state, contact the Assessor's office.

If you move, you must notify the Department of Motor Vehicles of your new address within 48 hours. Be sure that you request a change of address on your driver's license. and on your vehicle registrations(s).
