Property Tax Bills

Property Tax Bills

The Town issues an interim tax bill for all property tax classes with one installment due at the end of March.  The interim tax bill is calculated at 50% of the previous year’s total taxes levied (special charges such as garbage, water and sewer are not included).

The Town issues a final tax bill for the residential, farmland and managed forest tax classes with two installments – one due at the end of July and one due at the end of October.  Final tax bills for commercial, industrial and multi-residential tax classes are also issued with two installments – one due at the end of August and one due at the end of November.  The final tax bill includes any special charges such as garbage, water and/or sewer.

Late Payment Penalty and Application of Payments

A late payment penalty of 1.25% per month is added to any outstanding amount on the 1st day of each month until paid.  Payments made on your account are applied first to any outstanding interest and penalty and then to the oldest outstanding taxes.

Please ensure that the Town has your current mailing address on file. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve you from the responsibility of payment of taxes or penalty. A Change of Address form can be downloaded below.
