Southington Tax Collector

Welcome to the Southington Tax Office!  The collecting of taxes is both historic and statutory and steeped with legal traditions and precedents.  While the office operates under the General Statutes of the State of Connecticut in conjunction with the Office of Policy & Management, it also has a very contemporary business dimension with respect to operational policies and procedures, equipment, personnel, forms, collection techniques and public relations.

NOTICE

All new tax bills for the 2007 Grand List year will be mailed on June 27, 2008.  If multiple vehicles are registered exactly the same, bills for those vehicles will be mailed together in one envelope.  Real estate bills and personal property bills will always be sent in their own envelope.  Please check the envelopes you receive and verify that they include all the bills you were expecting.  If you are missing anything, please call the tax office as soon as possible so that we may send you a duplicate copy.  If you purchased property after October 2007 and do not escrow with a bank but do not have an original real estate bill, please call the tax office.  Failure to receive a bill does not invalidate the tax or interest that accrues.  Interest will begin to accrue if payments are not received or bear a US postal postmark by August 1, 2008.  Avoid long lines - pay by mail.  Send your payment to:

Southington Tax Collector PO Box 579 Southington, CT  06489

276-6259

Your cancelled check will be your receipt.  If a receipt is desired, send the entire bill and a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your payment.  We also have a drop box located in the hallway right outside the Tax Office.  Please take advantage of that option as the box is checked daily.

If you have an escrow account and the real estate tax bill was sent to you, please forward the bill to your bank.  If you own property in town and do not escrow with a bank, but did not receive a tax bill, or need any information, please call our office.  Failure to have received a bill does not exempt the taxpayer from taxes or interest charges.

For those who need assistance with required payments, we welcome the opportunity to discuss payment arrangements with you.  Please come in or call and we will be happy to assist you in any way we can.
