When are personal property taxes due?

July 1st and January 1st. If your bill for the year is $100 or less, it is due in full on July 1st.

What if I am late in making my payment?

Personal property tax bills must be paid on time or liens are immediately filed with the state of Connecticut. If the July half is late, the second half, normally due in January, is due immediately. Liens are not released until full payment is received. There is a two week wait after the payment date to make sure the check has cleared.

My business closed after October 1st. Do I need to pay this bill?

Yes - personal property tax bills are not pro-rated. This entire bill is due and payable.

What do I have to do to get my business off the tax rolls?

You must provide proof to the Assessor's Office when you close your business so that they may remove you from the upcoming grand list.
