**LEGAL NOTICE**

   JANUARY 2022 – MUNICIPAL TAXES DUE

  TOWN OF NORTH HAVEN

 

REAL ESTATE & PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES for the Town of North Haven (Grand List of October 1, 2020) are due JANUARY 1, 2022 (SECOND INSTALLMENT).  Further, SUPPLEMENTAL MOTOR VEHICLE TAXES are due JANUARY 1, 2022 (IN-FULL). NOTE: Supplemental bills are issued pursuant to C.G.S. § 12-7.  FAILURE TO RECEIVE A BILL DOES NOT INVALIDATE THE TAX (C.G.S. § 12-130). BILLING FOR THE SECOND HALF OF BOTH REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES DUE IN JANUARY WILL NOT BE MAILED AGAIN; THE PAYMENT STUB FOR THE SECOND HALVES WERE INCLUDED IN THE JULY BILLING PACKET.

 

If taxes are not paid by end of the grace period, February 1, 2022, the taxes will become delinquent as of February 2, 2022:  Interest will accrue at the rate of 1½ % per month or fraction thereof (18% per annum) on all unpaid taxes on the 2020 Grand List, computed from the original due date of January 1, 2022.  Each addition of interest shall become due and collectable and shall be figured on the original amount of tax.  INTEREST CANNOT BE WAIVED (C.G.S. §§ 12-145 & 146). 

 

If BACK TAXES are due, payments will be applied to the oldest outstanding bill first; fees, interest, and liens will be paid before principal (if applicable). (C.G.S. § 12-144b).  On each tax bill that becomes delinquent, a minimum interest charge of $2.00 will be collected, per the calculation of the percentage by state statute. (C.G.S. § 12-146).  All delinquent motor vehicle taxes requiring a release for motor vehicle registration should be paid by cash, bank check or money order.  Payments made with a check and/or online require a waiting period of ten (10) business days for clearance or proof of the payment to be presented to the Tax Collector’s office, all of which will delay your ability to register with DMV.  IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF THE PROPER PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING A DMV RELEASE, PLEASE CONTACT THE OFFICE BEFORE YOU COME IN TO PAY.
