City of Torrington Tax Collector's Office

09/02/2026

I wanted to inform everyone that our office is currently short-staffed, as two team members are out for medical reasons this September. We understand that taxpayers have previously called other offices, inquiring about our delayed phone responses. Please know that we are doing our best to assist you with the remaining staff available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

01/27/2026

Monday, FEBRUARY 2, 2026, is the last day to pay the second installment of your 2024 grand list real estate or personal property taxes and/or sewer usage fees AND your 2024 grand list supplemental motor vehicle taxes without incurring a penalty or interest. As of Tuesday, FEBRUARY 3, 2026, the bills that were due JANUARY 1, 2026, will be considered late and will incur an interest charge of 1.5% per month from the due date of JANUARY 1, 2026. Therefore, a 3% interest rate will be added to your bills starting February 3, 2026. Within the state statutes, a partial month is considered a full month, so even one day late into the month will force us to charge you the 1.5% interest for that entire month. There could also be additional fees added to any delinquent tax bill once an enforcement has been started. All delinquent motor vehicle supplemental bills must be reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles when payment is not received. This process will add an additional $5 fee to each delinquent motor vehicle bill starting Wednesday, FEBRUARY 4, 2026.

Please go to our website, https://www.torringtonct.gov/, for a listing of payment options on the Tax Collector's page. Payments may be postmarked with a United States postmark (NO METERED MARKS CAN BE ACCEPTED) with a date on or before FEBRUARY 2, 2026, or received in the office by 4 PM on FEBRUARY 2, 2026, to be considered on time. The online payment portal on our website (https://www.torringtonct.gov/ ) includes an additional convenience fee and will be open to pay online until 11:59 PM Monday, FEBRUARY 2, 2026. Any payment made in the office using a debit or credit card also incurs additional convenience fees. (FYI, our drop box outside of City Hall will NOT be an option to leave a payment after business hours on Monday, FEBRUARY 2, 2026.) WE DO NOT TAKE PAYMENTS OVER THE PHONE.

PLEASE NOTE, IF WE ARE CLOSED DUE TO A SNOWSTORM, THE ONLY WAY THE DELINQUENT DATE WILL CHANGE IS IF THE CT GOVERNOR CHANGES THE STATE LAW. PLEASE PAY ONLINE OR HAVE THE PAYMENT STAMPED AT THE POST OFFICE WITH A US POSTMARK ONLY BY FEBRUARY 2, 2026. IF WE ARE CLOSED, THE DROPBOX AT CITY HALL WILL NOT BE OPEN FOR PAYMENTS.

Thank you, and have a great day!

Please read this entire message for important information:

Real Estate tax, Personal Property tax, and Sewer Usage bills for January 2026 were mailed to taxpayers in July 2025. Supplemental Motor Vehicle bills are due in full in January 2026 and were sent out on December 31, 2025. To avoid penalties, all January 2026 installment payments must be made prior to February 2, 2026. For critical dates and details regarding this January 2026 collection period, please refer to our legal notices at https://www.torringtonct.gov/216/Tax-Collectors-Office.

For the January 2026 installment, bills are technically due on Thursday, January 1, 2026. However, the law allows taxpayers to pay without penalties until Monday, February 2, 2026. A due date must be established to calculate penalties for taxpayers who do not pay on time. To avoid these penalties, payments must be physically received in the tax collector’s office by February 2, 2026. We also accept payments in our drop box at City Hall until 4 PM on Monday, February 2, 2026. Alternatively, payments can be made using our online payment system, MuniciPAY, prior to midnight on February 2, 2026. If paying by mail, ensure that the envelope has a US postmark by February 2, 2026. Please note that we cannot accept meter marks as a postmarked date; instead, we will use the date received in our office to determine how the payment is applied. If bills are not paid on time, interest will accrue at 1.5% per month from the due date of January 1, 2026. Additionally, a $5 fee will be applied to all delinquent supplemental motor vehicle taxes immediately after February 2, 2026, when they are reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles. For more information on how to pay through your online banking, please visit our website https://www.torringtonct.gov/416/Payment-Options.

The easiest, most convenient, and most economical way to pay your taxes is through an E-Check (Electronic Check/ACH payment). Visit our website https://www.torringtonct.gov/, and on the home page or the tax collector’s page, click on the link entitled "Online Payments" for additional details. For a fee of just $0.95, you can avoid the anxiety and delay of mailing your payment. Payments can also be made online using a credit or debit card for a fee of 2.65%. Please note that these fees are also charged if you choose to pay with a debit or credit card in the office; we do not process any E-Check payments in the office.

If you wish to appeal your supplemental motor vehicle tax bill, we recommend paying your bill by the delinquent date of February 2, 2026. After that, if you wish to appeal your assessment, please contact the Board of Assessment Appeals. More details can be found on their website https://www.torringtonct.gov/174/Board-of-Assessment-Appeals.

Please note that ALL sewer usage bills are mailed to taxpayers. If your sewer usage bill is escrowed, please forward it to your mortgage company immediately. If you are unsure, contact them for clarification. Otherwise, it is payable as stated on the bill.
