The undersigned Tax Collector for the Town of New Milford hereby gives notice that she will be ready to receive payment for all Real Estate, Personal Property and Motor Vehicle taxes on the Grand List of October 1, 2013 due and payable on July 1, 2014.  Please mail payment to the address indicated on your tax bill.   Office hours are 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.  **After hours please use drop slot outside the Tax Collector’s office.**

All payments must be postmarked by August 1, 2014 to avoid any interest.  Any taxes remaining unpaid after August 1st will be charged interest at the rate of one and one-half (1 ½%) percent per month, or eighteen percent (18%) per year from the due date of the tax which is July 1, 2014 up until the date of payment, with a minimum charge of $2.00.  Therefore on August 2, 2014 the interest charge will be three percent (3%).  Failure to receive a tax bill does not invalidate the tax due nor the interest which may become due.  (All quoted from the CT General State Statutes, Section #12-130.)  All delinquent back taxes must be paid first.  All CT Tax Collectors are mandated to follow these Statutes by law, and all taxpayers must abide by these laws.

Credit or Debit cards may be utilized to pay taxes, in person only, with an additional two percent (2%) processing fee.
