For assistance, please contact your financial institution.

Pay your property taxes and/or water and sewer bill by automatic withdrawal by completing the Authorization Form for Pre-Authorized Payment Plan and selecting one of the following options:
Equal Monthly Payment Option – the Finance department will determine a fixed monthly payment based on your annual levy, which will be withdrawn on the 28th of every month.
Due Date Option – the total amount of the bill will be withdrawn from your bank account on the due date of the bill, for more information on due dates please see the Property Tax or Water/Sewer pages.
Penalty/Interest
Property Tax – There will be an imposed late payment penalty of 1.25% applied on the due date or any installment thereof. An additional penalty of 1.25% will be added on the first day of each calendar month thereafter in which default continues.
Water/Sewer – There will be an imposed late payment penalty of 1.5% per month to be applied to all accounts in default on the first of each month. Default of payment to the town could result in a shut off of the water supply after a period of 60 days in arrears of the due date.
