The second half payment of taxes on the Grand List of October 1, 2023 is due January 1, 2025. Supplemental motor vehicle taxes are also due at this time. Payments must be postmarked by February 3, 2025 to avoid interest. Any tax bills not paid by February 3, 2025 will be considered delinquent, and interest will be charged at the rate of one and one half percent per month and fraction thereof (including January). This means that even if you pay on February 4, you will be charged for two months interest. No additional bills will be mailed for second installments. Please use the bill you received in July.

     The town offices are open to the public for payment. There is also a drop box for the Tax Collector to the right of the entrance. The Tax Office is open on Mondays from 1-4 P.M. and on Wednesdays from 9 A.M.-noon and 1-4 P.M. Taxes can be paid by mail, addressed to:  Cornwall Tax Collector, P.O. Box 97, Cornwall, CT  06753. Payments can also be paid by credit card or e-check by visiting the following website, www.cornwallct.org.  There is an additional charge for this service.
