Please send all communications under separate cover to the Collector's Office at the Town Building. Make checks payable to the Town of Wayland. Include the Collector's copy of the excise tax bill. Information for excise bills are sent to the town from the Registry of Motor Vehicles. This includes amount, name and address.
Excise tax is calculated monthly.
The tax will be prorated to cover the months owed for a vehicle registered after January. If the vehicle is sold, the license plate must be returned to the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The RVM will give you a plate receipt. For a prorated refund on the excise tax, you must bring in the plate receipt, a bill of sale and file an application for abatement at the Assessor's Office. An application for abatement may also be filed if the vehicle is traded in.
