If you replaced a vehicle using the same plate, a credit will show in the exemption block on your bill for the remaining portion of the year for the old vehicle. The information on the bill comes directly from the registration records at the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles. Please bring the bill or mail a copy with your payment in order to validate our records. Supplemental tax bills are due in one installment on January 1, 2000. The collection period extends through February 1 without interest penalty.
State law governs our collection process.
In addition, we are required to report all delinquent motor vehicle accounts to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Registrations will not be processed by DMV until all delinquent taxes are paid in full. AND you provide the Assessor's Office with substantiating information. All information must be dated and have the vehicle ID number on all documentation. The bill, however, will not be sent from your new town until the next billing, and you must pay the bill from East Lyme.
