David Campo, Town Clerk
I respectfully request that, on the night of the Tuesday May 4 budget hearing, my budget be
moved to the first position on the schedule. I will be out of the state and will be connecting to the
Zoom hearing from a more problematic location than I would normally utilize.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Subject: 
Tax Payment Schedule for Fiscal Year 2021 - 2022
I have the following recommendations for the schedule of tax payments for Fiscal Year
2021-2022: 
.
e 
Retain the two-payment system for Real Estate tax bills, providing for collections
in July and January.
e 
Real Estate tax bills over $100.00 would be collected in two equal installments,
due July 1, 2021, and January 1, 2022.
e 
Real Estate tax bills of $100.00 or less would be due in full July 1, 2021.
e 
Personal Property and Motor Vehicle tax bills would be due in full July 1, 2021.
e 
Motor Vehicle Supplemental tax bills would be due in full January 1, 2022.
These bills are for vehicles registered after the assessment date of October 1,
2020, but before August 1, 2021.

This collection schedule is recommended in order to keep the Town in compliance with
Connecticut General Statutes 12-142, 12-144, and 12-144a.
Sec. 12-142. Installments; due date. The legislative body of each municipality, upon
approving any budget calling for the laying of a tax on property, shall determine whether
such tax shall be due and payable in a single installment or in two semiannual
installments or in four quarterly installments and shall, unless otherwise provided by law,
designate the date or dates on which such installment or installments shall be due and
payable, subject to the provisions of section 7-383, in any municipality in compliance
with requirements concerning the uniform fiscal year under chapter 110; provided the last
installment of any such tax shall be due and payable not later than forty-five days before
the end of the fiscal year in which the first installment thereof is due and payable, and
provided any special tax shall be due and payable in a single installment. In case of
failure of the legislative body to determine when such tax shall be due and payable or
whenever the date on which such tax shall be due and payable has been determined,
however, (1) the preparation and mailing of rate bills for such tax is delayed until after
the date such tax is due or (2) such tax is not applicable to certain property until after the
date such tax is due, such tax shall be due and payable, with respect to all property or
property which becomes subject to tax after the date such tax is due, whichever is
applicable, not later than thirty days following the date on which rate bills for such tax
are mailed or handed to persons liable therefor. Except as otherwise provided by law, the
several installments of a tax due in two or four installments shall be equal, but any
taxpayer may pay two or more of such installments when the first is due.
Sec. 12-144. Payment of taxes of not more than one hundred dollars. Any property
tax due in any municipality of this state in an amount not in excess of one hundred dollars
shall be due and payable in a single payment when so determined by the appropriating
body of such municipality.
Sec. 12-144a. Payment of tax on motor vehicles. Irrespective of the provisions of
sections 12-142 and 12-144, the appropriating body of each municipality, upon approving
any budget calling for the laying of a tax on property, shall determine whether such tax as
it applies to motor vehicles shall be due and payable in a single installment.
