Get Ready To Pay, Simsbury Tax Bills Going Out

SIMSBURY, CT — More than a month after the town approved municipal/school budgets for 2024-25, the time is now coming to pay for it.

Simsbury officials Tuesday said tax and sewer bills will go out next week, first hitting the mail on Friday, June 28.

Officials said they will be available online for viewing/payment on Monday, July 1.

Tax bills are due July 1st and the last day to pay to avoid penalty/interest is Aug. 1.

Sewer Use bills become due July 1 and only have a 30-day billing period with a due date of July 30.

Nearly 11 percent of registered Simsbury voters opened their wallets May 10 during the town's budget vote, agreeing to about $114 million in spending for 2024-25.

And in saying "yes" to all budget questions at the annual referendum, Simsbury voters adopted town/school spending packages expected to up the town's tax rate by nearly 5 percent.

According to town officials, the combined budget proposal would increase the mill rate from 30.82 to 32.26.

That, officials said, would result in a $9,112 tax bill for the median home assessment — or a tax bill that is $408 more than a year ago, a 4.68 percent tax hike.
