Legal Notice July 2023

LEGAL NOTICE

TOWN OF EAST HAMPTON

ATTENTION ALL TAXPAYERS

Notice is hereby given to the Town of East Hampton taxpayers that taxes for real estate, personal property and motor vehicles levied on the Grand List of October 1, 2022 are due and payable on July 1, 2023. The last day on which to pay without penalty is August 1, 2023. Real estate and personal property taxes are based on a temporary mill rate of 34.66 mills which equates to $34.66 in taxes per $1,000 of net assessed value. Motor vehicle tax is based on the state mill rate cap of 32.46 mills. Tax bills are mailed on June 28, 2023.

Taxpayers will receive an additional bill for the second installment of real estate and personal property taxes with the permanent mill rate in December 2023. It is likely the permanent mill rate will differ from the temporary mill rate resulting in the second installment being different than the first.

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 August 1, 2023 are considered on time regardless of when they are received by the Tax Office. Payments received August 2, 2023 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.
