Town Tax Bills
1st quarter due August 1, 2025 and 2nd quarter due November 3, 2025
Hello Everyone, The new fiscal year 2026 tax bills were mailed at the end of June. There are two bills in this mailing. 1st quarter due August 1, 2025 and 2nd quarter due November 3, 2025. Please note, if a due date is on a day the collector’s office is not regularly open then the payment will be received without penalty during the next regular scheduled office hours. My office hours are Tuesdays and Thursday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Town tax payments can be made online (online payments are not accepted for Fire District tax), mail drop box (located on the second set of green doors at the town office which is available 24/7) or by mail. If you require a receipt include a Self-Addressed Stamped envelope with your payment.
A few things to know about quarterly tax bills.
