What types of property are subject to local property taxes?

Three classes of property are assessed and subject to local property taxation: Real Estate, Personal Property and Motor Vehicles.

Personal property is primarily business equipment, machinery, supplies, commercial furniture and fixtures, leased equipment, and unregistered Motor Vehicles.

Registered Motor Vehicles are listed with the Department of Motor Vehicles. These vehicles are coded by tax town and the Assessor is provided a list of registered vehicles annually.

MOTOR VEHICLE BILLS are due on July 1st. Motor vehicle supplemental bills are due on January 1st. If your Motor Vehicle taxes become delinquent, please call the Tax Collector's office to obtain a total amount due, including interest, so that you can obtain a Motor Vehicle release.
