Westport Tax Collector Harry Whiteley reminded eligible “Deferred Date Applicants” that they have until Thursday, Oct. 1, to pay the first quarter real estate taxes, personal property taxes and sanitary sewer use and assessment charges that were due July 1.
Whitely said that if paid late, accounts will be subject to an 18% (1.5%/month) penalty charge from the original due date of July 1, 2020. The minimum interest charge is $2, he said.
He added that failure to receive a bill does not abate the charges or interest.
According to Whiteley, real estate taxes, personal property taxes and sanitary use and assessment bills may be paid by credit card, debit card, or direct withdrawal from a checking account online at westportct.gov/taxes.
Checks should be made payable to Town of Westport and mailed to: Tax Collector – Westport, P.O. Box 350 Westport, CT 06881.
