City of Bristol Tax Collector, Ann Bednaz, announced this week that the
second installment of real estate and personal property taxes on the
Grand List of October 1, 2021 are due and payable on January 1, 2023.
All tax bills become delinquent after February 1, 2023.
Taxpayers who do not have their banks pay their property taxes directly
are encouraged to check their July bill for the Second Installment
coupon for Real Estate and Personal Property taxes. Please use that
coupon to send your January payment.
In order to be in compliance with the CT General Statutes, owners of
Motor Vehicles which were registered between the dates of October 2,
2021 and July 31, 2022, are also notified that they are liable for a tax
on such motor vehicles on the City’s Supplemental 2021 Motor Vehicle
Grand List. These bills will be mailed out December 30, 2022. This tax
is due and payable as of January 1, 2023; delinquent after February 1,
2023.
All current tax bills may be paid in person at any M & T Bank Branch
starting January 1, 2023 through February 1, 2023; the branch does not
have to be in Bristol. Please provide your current tax coupon along
with payment of Cash or Check. There is no fee for this service and is
available during the January collection month.
Payments must be received or USPS postmarked on or before February 1,
2023 or they will be considered delinquent. Delinquent payments are
subject to interest at a rate of 1.5% per month starting from the due
date of January 1, 2023. The minimum calculated interest charge is $2.00
per CT State Statute Sec. 12-146.

self-addressed stamped envelope MUST accompany the payment if a receipt
