Canton: Time To Pay The Tax Man

CANTON, CT — Local officials are reminding taxpayers to not forget the tax man when paying bills this holiday season.

But the good news is folks, really, have until a month after the holidays to pay their town property taxes without facing a penalty.

"If you haven’t already paid the second installment of your real estate tax, the Canton tax collector would like to remind you that it is due January 1, 2023 and is payable without penalty by February 1, 2023," wrote the town via social media.

There are multiple ways this could be done:

• Dropped off in the drop box at the Main Street entrance to Canton Town Hall

• Mailed to P.O. Box 168, Collinsville, Conn., 06022-0168

• Paid online at townofcantonct.org (fees apply)

• Paid in person by check or in cash at the tax collector's office in town hall during office hours.

For those seeking payment posted to this calendar year, payments must be made online by midnight on Dec. 31 or the payment must be received in the tax collector’s office by noon on Friday, Dec. 30, as the office will be closed Dec. 31.

Tax collector office hours are: Monday/Tuesday/Thursday, 8:15 a.m. - to 4:30 p.m.; Wednesday 8:15 a.m. to 6:45 p.m.; and Friday 8:15 a.m. to noon.

The office is closed for lunch from noon to 1 p.m. daily.

Those with questions, can call the tax collector's office at 860-693-7843 or send an email to jenriquez@townofcantonct.org.
