The Town of West Hartford will mail motor vehicle tax bills on Oct. 6, 2017, and the due date will be Nov. 1.

Submitted by the Town of West Hartford

As you may know, the Town of West Hartford delayed mailing the motor vehicle bills due to the uncertainty concerning possible legislation which could result in a change to the uniform state-wide motor vehicle mill rate.

Unfortunately, the state budget is still uncertain and the town can no longer postpone the issuance of motor vehicle tax bills.

Motor vehicle tax bills are based on the current state legislation of 32 mills. Should this change when the final state budget is adopted, it may be necessary to adjust the tax levy and issue a supplemental tax bill at a later date.

As soon as any new information is available, the town will post it on the West Hartford home page, www.westhartfordct.gov. Residents may also call the West Hartford Tax Office at (860) 561-7474 x4 for more information.

Motor vehicle tax bills are due Nov. 1, 2017.  The last day to pay without penalty is Friday, Dec. 1, 2017.

The tax office will be open on Friday, Dec. 1 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding the timing of this bill.
