Even though all tax bills have yet to go out, Tax Collector Harry Whiteley reminded residents that first quarter real estate taxes, personal property taxes, motor vehicle taxes and sanitary sewer use and assessment charges are due July 1.
Taxpayers have until Aug. 1 to pay taxes without penalty. Accounts will be subject to an 18% (1.5%/month) penalty charge if paid late. Minimum interest charge is $2.
Failure to receive a bill does not abate the charges or interest, Whiteley said.
Real estate taxes, personal property taxes, motor vehicle taxes and sanitary use and assessment bills may be paid by credit card, debit card, or direct withdrawal from a checking account online at https://www.westportct.gov/ and choosing “Pay Taxes Online” from the homepage.
Checks should be made payable to “Town of Westport” and mailed to: Tax Collector — Westport, P.O. Box 350, Westport, CT 06881.I
In-person payments may be made at the Tax Collector’s Office, Room 109 in Town Hall (110 Myrtle Ave.) Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily Monday through Friday.
