When are Property Taxes due?
The Town's tax year runs July 1 - June 30. Property taxes are billed once per year and are due in two payments on November 15th & May 15th. Interest begins accruing on the unpaid balance on November 16 and May 16. Residents may choose to pay the full amount at the time of the November payment or anytime before the May 15th deadline; we welcome partial payments anytime on all accounts. Please include your tax payment stub or account number with your payment to assure the proper credit to your account. Tax bills must be paid in full by June 30th to avoid having unpaid taxes published in the Annual Town Report.
Payments may be made in person at the Town Office,
online, or by mail addressed to the attention of the Tax Collector.
