What if I receive a tax bill for a motor vehicle I no longer own?

The motor vehicle bill you receive in July is based upon registration of that vehicle effective October 1st.

If your motor vehicle was sold, destroyed, stolen, or registered out-of-state prior to September 1st and not replaced with another vehicle, your tax bill may be pro-rated.

Contact the Assessor's office to receive information about the types of documentation that must be presented (within statutory time limits) for tax bills to be pro-rated.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Connecticut Dept. of Motor Vehicles does NOT forward notice of registration cancellation to the Assessor's Office.

Be sure to update the address on the registration for all of your vehicles with DMV.
