West Hartford Reminds Taxpayers Of Aug. 1 Deadline

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Town officials Friday are reminding taxpayers that taxes are due Aug. 1 if people want to avoid paying any late penalties.

"The Town of West Hartford Revenue Collection Office offers a friendly reminder to pay your tax bill by Aug. 1, 2022 to avoid a penalty," reads a notice posted by the town Friday afternoon.

Payment must be postmarked or hand-delivered to the Revenue Collection Office located off of the West Hartford Town Hall lobby.

Payments postmarked after Aug. 1, 2022 incur interest at a rate of 1.5 percent per month, calculated back to July 1 due date.

Town officials said there are three ways to pay:

• Pay online. Pay by electronic check ($0.90 processing fee) or by credit card (2.95 processing processing fee). Go to https://www.westhartfordct.gov... and click on the button: PAY TAXES NOW

• Pay in person. Come to Room 109 located off the town hall lobby. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
