 Per State Statutes 7-148 & 12-130 thru 12-163, the Tax Collector has the responsibility to collect all taxes due to the Town of East Haven and to apply interest and fees on delinquent accounts.  We are also instructed to use the tools (State Marshals, Collection Agencies) given to us to collect all delinquent accounts. 

The mill rate for the 2021 Grand List year is 31.20 mills. 

It is the responsibility of the tax payer to pay your tax bills on time.  You will only receive one bill per year.  Please Note that failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the taxpayer the requirement to pay on time. If your bill is $200.00 or more for the year you will have two coupons attached to the bill.  It is your choice to pay the bill in 1 or 2 installments. The 2021 Grand List Tax Bills were due July 1, 2022 and became delinquent after August 1st, 2022. Interest is accrued at 1.5% per month.  The 2nd installment will be due on January 1st, 2023 and will become delinquent after February 1st 2023.  It is your responsibility to remember to pay your bill in January 2023. After each grace period, Delinquent Demand Notices will be mailed out.  Failure to meet your responsibility to pay your taxes could result in your account being given to a collection agency, marshall or attorney.
