Time To Pay The Taxman In West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Cue the Beatles. It's time to pay the tax man in West Hartford.

On Monday, the West Hartford Revenue Collection Office mailed tax bills on the second installment of the Grand List of Oct. 1, 2021 consisting of real estate, personal property and supplemental motor vehicles.

Payment is due on Jan. 1, 2023 with a grace period until Feb. 1.

The supplemental motor vehicle bill applies to any vehicle registered with Connecticut DMV after Oct. 1, 2021 and before Aug. 1, 2022.

The vehicle will be valued beginning with the month in which it was acquired. The mill rate for motor vehicles is 32.46.

Taxes may be paid online at westhartfordct.gov/tax, or at the revenue collection center in West Hartford Town Hall, Room 109.

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The office will be closed on Dec. 26, Jan. 2 and Jan. 16.

If payment is not made by Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023, the tax becomes delinquent and subject to interest at the rate of 1.5 percent per month (18 percent annually) retroactive to Jan. 1, 2023.

February interest is 3 percent (1.5 percent for January; 1.5 percent for February). Minimum interest charge is $2.

Failure to receive a bill does not invalidate the tax or the interest, so contact the West Hartford Revenue Collection Office at 561-7474, ext. 4, if you do not receive a bill.

Taxpayers may also look up their account by visiting the town's online tax portal: Town of West Hartford - Tax Bills Search & Pay (mytaxbill.org).
