TOWN OF WASHINGTON
TAX COLLECTOR’S NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that the second installment of taxes on the grand list of October 1, 2012 are due and payable on January 1, 2014. The last day on which to pay without penalty is Monday, February 3, 2014. Taxes are due at the following mill rate eleven (11.75) mills.
Late payments will be subject to interest penalty at the rate of one and one half percent per month or fraction thereof, (18 percent per annum), from the due date of the tax (January 1, 2014), as required by Conn. Gen. Stat. 12-130, 145 & 146.
Payments received February 4, 2014 and later, including payments postmarked February 4 and later, are considered past due. The minimum interest charge of $2.00 (on each tax bill) applies to bills in the amount of $66.50 and under. Interest on all bills over $66.50 is one and one half percent per month starting with January, per CT State Statute. The fee for returned checks is $20 plus postage.
The second installment of real estate and personal property tax bills in excess of $100.00 are currently due. Supplemental Motor vehicle tax bills are currently due in a single installment.
As owners of property, taxpayers are responsible to see that taxes are paid when due. Failure to have received a bill does not exempt the taxpayer from payment of all taxes and all interest charges and collection costs, as per Conn. Gen. Stat. 12-130 and 12-146. INTEREST IS CHARGED ON ALL LATE PAYMENTS, THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY.
Whether paying in person or mailing your payment please include the appropriate portion of your tax bill(s) with your payment. Bills may be paid at the Tax Collector’s Office in Bryan Memorial Town Hall from 9:00 a.m. to Noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Checks are made payable to Town of Washington and payments should be mailed to Washington Tax Collector, P.O. Box 383, Washington Depot, CT 06794. For a receipt please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope with your payment and coupon.
The Tax Collector’s Office makes every effort to show all your past due accounts, if any, on a statement included with your new bills. Any past due taxes must be paid in full before payment on current bills can be accepted. Any payment you remit will be applied to past due taxes and interest charges first.
If real estate taxes remain unpaid as of May 31, 2014, tax liens will be applied in accordance with state statute. If you do not receive a bill for taxes owed by the first week in July, or January in the case of supplemental motor vehicle bills, please contact the Tax Collector’s Office immediately and we will reissue one.
If motor vehicle taxes remain unpaid, you will be unable to renew vehicle registrations with the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, per Conn. Gen. Stat. 14-33. Past due motor vehicle taxes must be paid in full by cash, cashiers’ check or money order in order to receive immediate DMV clearance. All outstanding vehicle taxes in your name, including taxes not yet delinquent, must be paid in full in order for a release to be issued.
If you do not receive a tax bill you are supposed to pay, or if you have any questions about the bill(s) you received, please call the Tax Collector’s Office at 860-868-7796 or fax your correspondence to 860-868-3103 or email at: tax@washingtonct.org.

Town of Washington preliminary 2013 assessment notices to be sent.
The Town of Washington is completing a State-mandated revaluation of all real estate for the October 1, 2013 Grand List. The Town and eQuality Valuation Services LLC will send preliminary notices of the new assessments for the October 1, 2013 revaluation date; at the end of November 2013.
The notices will contain both the prior 2012 assessed value (based upon previous 2008 revaluation) and the new 2013 assessed value. They will also contain information for property owners who wish to discuss their new assessments with eQuality Valuation Services LLC. Owners must call the 800 number listed in the notice to schedule an appointment for an informal hearing. Hearings will be held at Washington’s Bryan Memorial Hall, 2 Bryan Plaza, Washington Depot, CT, by appointment only, beginning December 9, 2013. Property owners are asked to refrain from contacting the Town of Washington; as informal hearings must be scheduled through eQuality.
Owners are reminded that in Connecticut it is the assessment of the property that is discussed at this time-not the taxes due for the property. This is because the mill rate, and thus the 2013 grand list tax amounts will not be known for several months. Owners cannot estimate a future tax bill using the current 2012 mill rate.
Property owners who still believe their assessments are incorrect after the informal hearings may file an appeal with the Town’s Board of Assessment Appeals during the first twenty days of February. But it is recommended that property owners consider attending an informal hearing if they feel their assessment is incorrect, because corrections may be made prior to the signing of the grand list. Board of Assessment Appeals applications will be available from the Assessor’s Office or at may be downloaded from www.washingtonct.org after the grand list is signed January 31, 2014.
The first tax bills using the 2013 revaluation assessments will be mailed dated July 1, 2014, and will be due by August 1, 2014. The Town of Washington’s current 2012 mill rate cannot be used to calculate July 2014 tax bills. Connecticut towns and cities have a high dependence upon property taxes in order to operate as municipalities. Property tax is the tax that municipalities in Connecticut must use in order to raise the revenue required to operate the Town; as municipalities are not allowed to institute a local income tax or local sales tax. Connecticut General Statutes require that municipalities perform revaluation no later than five years after the last revaluation, and that all real property is assessed at 70% of market value as of the revaluation date.

ASSESSOR’S OFFICE
August 2, 2013
For the next few months, a representative of Total Valuation Services, Mr. Mark LoRusso, will be traveling around Washington in a gray PT Cruiser, taking pictures of some houses in Town. These photos will keep the property record cards updated for the 2013 revaluation.
Photo-taking is such a rapid process that homeowners should not mistake a ‘photo shoot’ for failure to stop and inspect the premises; which may not need to be done, or may be done on a different visit. When our inspections to verify percent of permit work completed are done, Mark or I will spend more time on the premises, instead of quickly driving in and driving out. As always, homeowner’s cooperation is greatly appreciated.
