Legal Notice January 2024

LEGAL NOTICE
TOWN OF EAST HAMPTON
ATTENTION ALL TAXPAYERS

 

Notice is hereby given to the taxpayers of the Town of East Hampton that the taxes for the second installment of real estate, personal property, and supplemental motor vehicles levied on the Grand List of October 1, 2022 are due and payable on January 1, 2024. The last day on which to pay without penalty is February 1, 2024. Real estate and personal property taxes are based on a mill rate of 36.06 mills which equates to $36.06 in taxes per $1,000 of net assessed value. Supplemental motor vehicle tax is based on the state capped mill rate of 32.46 mills.

Taxpayers will receive an additional bill for the second installment of real estate and personal property taxes with the permanent mill rate of 36.06 mills. All bill types were mailed on December 1, 2023. It is likely that the second installment will be different than the first due to the mill rate increase. 

Late payments will be subject to interest penalty at the rate of 1 ½% per month or a fraction thereof, 18 % per annum, from the due date of the tax, as required by Conn. Gen. Stat. 12-130, 145 and 146.  Payments legibly postmarked by the USPS on or before February 1, 2024 are considered on time regardless of when they are received by the Tax Office. Payments received February 2, 2024 or later, and payments received without postmark are considered past due. The minimum interest charge is $2 on each tax bill. A returned check fee is $20. 

As owners of property, taxpayers are responsible to see that taxes are paid when due. Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt the taxpayer from payment of all taxes and interest charges should the tax become delinquent. 

Please make checks payable to: Town of East Hampton. Payments may be mailed to Collector of Revenue, 1 Community Drive, East Hampton, CT 06424. Pay online by visiting www.easthamptonct.gov  Hours of collection are: Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 8:00 am – 4:00 pm, Tuesday 8:00 am – 6:30 pm and Friday 8:00 am – 12:30 pm.
