Bill Information:
Bills are sent out late June.   The first installment is due July 1, with a grace period of 30 days to pay without interest.  If the due date for either July 1 or January 1 falls on a weekend, the bill is due the next business day.  Only one real estate bill will be sent out for the year; a bill will not be sent out regarding the second installment real estate.  The real estate tax bill consists of three sections--the bottom third of the bill is to be used for the first installment payment, due July 1.  The middle section of the bill is to be used for the second installment payment, due January 1, with a grace period to February 1.  Last, the top section of the bill is for taxpayer record.   If you plan to pay in person, please bring the entire bill with you.  We will take the appropriate stub and stamp the “Customer” portion “Received”, with the date.  If you pay by mail and would like a receipt, mail the entire bill, with payment, along with a stamped self-addressed envelope.  We will stamp the customer portion as received and return it to you in the stamped envelope you have provided.

Bill Due Dates:
Real Estate bills over $100—the first half of the bill is due July 1, and the second half is due the following January 1.

Personal Property bills over $100, half of the bill is due July 1, and the other half is due January 1. (Only one personal property bill will be sent out for the year; a bill will not be sent out regarding the second installment personal property.

Motor Vehicle bills are due in full July 1.

Supplemental Motor Vehicle bills are due in full January 1.  These are bills where the taxpayer would most often have purchased the vehicle after October 1 of the current grand list year.  These bills are often pro-rated.

Delinquent Payments:
Never ignore a tax bill.  Taxes will remain due and interest will continue to accumulate until the bill is paid or removed by the Tax Assessor.  If you fail to receive a tax bill, call the Tax Collector’s office. 

Interest – 1 ½ % per month (18% per annum) from the original due date, on all delinquent tax.

Per State Statute, if a bill is not paid within one month of the installment due date, it is considered delinquent.  For example, if a bill is due on July 1, it becomes delinquent if paid or post marked after August 1.  If August 1 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, then the bill may be paid on the first business day of August without penalty.

If motor vehicle bill is delinquent then we will notify the DMV and you will not be able to register your car until the taxes and interest are paid.

If a real estate bill remains delinquent, and full payment is not received after due notice, a lien will be placed on the property and noted on the Easton Land Records.  Full payment, of tax, interest, and lien fee is required to remove the lien.
