Open the official Westport tax payment page
Use the official www.westportct.gov/paytaxes shortcut or the Town of Westport Tax Collector page. Do not start from ads or unofficial directory pages when entering payment details.
Search the correct bill type
Real estate, personal property, motor vehicle, supplemental motor vehicle and sewer bills may not behave the same way. Use the search path that matches the bill you actually received.
Confirm the list number and tax period
When paying through a bank bill-pay system, the Town FAQ says the bill List number should be included. That number can change with each tax year, payment period and bill type, so do not reuse an old memo line without checking.
Review convenience fees before submitting
The Town FAQ lists convenience fees for online payment methods, including e-check, credit card and VISA debit card options. Fees can change, so verify the current fee on the official payment screen before paying.
Save your confirmation or receipt
Download, print or screenshot the confirmation page. Save the tax bill, payment date, list number, amount, bill type and confirmation number until the payment posts and the account shows correctly.

Westport Tax Collector
Town Hall office for tax collection questions
Before You Contact the Office
Have your bill details ready
Do not call the wrong department first
If your question is “How much do I owe?” or “Did my payment post?” call the Tax Collector. If your question is “Why is this assessed value wrong?” or “How do I remove a vehicle from the tax rolls?” you likely need the Assessor’s Office.
Westport Tax Collector Office Hours and Best Time to Visit
In-person payments may be made at the Tax Collector’s Office, Room 109 in Town Hall, during regular business hours: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Normal office window
Use 8:30 am-4:30 pm, Monday-Friday, as the regular in-person payment window. Town Hall closures and holidays can change availability.
Best visit habit
Go earlier in the day if you need receipt help, late-payment guidance, sewer questions, multiple bills, or payment confirmation before a grace period ends.
Grace-period warning
Do not wait until the last afternoon of a grace period. Online posting, bank bill pay, mail delay or missing bill details can create unnecessary interest.
What to bring if paying in person
- The correct tax bill for the period being paid.
- Bill List number, property address, vehicle information or account details.
- Payment method accepted by the office.
- Prior receipt or confirmation number if you already tried to pay.
- Self-addressed postage-paid envelope if you are mailing and want a receipt returned, when applicable.
Westport Tax Due Dates, Grace Periods, Sewer Charges and Supplemental Motor Vehicle Bills
Westport’s tax calendar includes real estate, personal property, motor vehicle, sewer use/assessment and supplemental motor vehicle timelines. Always verify current-year dates with the official calendar because weekends, holidays and notices can affect practical payment timing.
July 1
First installment of real estate and personal property taxes is due. Motor vehicle taxes are generally due in full. Sewer assessment/use charges are also tied to the tax calendar.
October 1
Second installment of real estate and property taxes is due. October 1 is also the Grand List date, also known as the assessment date for the following year’s taxes.
January 1
Third installment of real estate and personal property taxes is due, along with sewer assessment/use charges and payment in full of supplemental motor vehicle taxes.
April 1
Fourth installment of real estate and personal property taxes is due, and sewer assessment/use charges are due again.
May and June lien timeline
Westport’s calendar notes tax lien notices in May for real estate and sewer balances, and liens filed with the Town Clerk’s Office in June for delinquent real estate and sewer assessment/use charges.
Grace-period habit
The Town calendar lists last-day-to-pay dates after the due dates. Do not assume the same date every year without checking the official calendar.
What to Do if You Did Not Receive a Westport Tax Bill
Failure to receive a tax bill does not remove taxes or interest. Westport’s FAQ tells taxpayers to call the Tax Collector’s Office if a tax bill is missing.
Tax bills are addressed to property owners on the October 1 Grand List unless the Tax Collector’s Office receives specific instructions to send the bill elsewhere. That matters if you recently bought, sold, inherited, refinanced, changed mailing address, moved within Connecticut or expected your mortgage company to handle payment.
If you bought property
- Search the bill online instead of waiting for paper mail.
- Check whether the prior owner name still appears.
- Review closing documents for tax proration.
- Ask whether your lender escrow will pay.
If you sold property
- Forward the bill to the new owner if you receive it.
- Return the bill to the Tax Office with mailing instructions if needed.
- Keep sale and closing proof for your records.
- Do not ignore a bill only because you sold the property.
Never ignore a bill
Westport’s FAQ warns that taxes remain due and interest can continue to accumulate until the bill is paid or removed by the Assessor when the issue belongs on the assessment side.
Westport Motor Vehicle Tax Bills, Supplemental Bills and Moving Within Connecticut
Motor vehicle tax questions can involve both the Tax Collector and the Assessor. The Tax Collector handles payment and delinquency; the Assessor handles adjustments or removal from the assessment rolls.
Supplemental motor vehicle bills
Vehicles registered between October 2 and the following July 31 can appear on a supplemental motor vehicle list. Supplemental motor vehicle bills are sent in December and due in one installment on January 1.
If you disposed of a vehicle
If a vehicle was sold, stolen, destroyed, removed from Connecticut, or otherwise disposed of, contact the Assessor’s Office promptly with written documentation. Waiting too long can affect adjustment eligibility.
If you moved within Connecticut
Motor vehicle taxes are due to the municipality where you lived on October 1. Delinquent motor vehicle taxes can be reported to DMV and may block renewal or registration until paid.
Simple rule for vehicle questions
If you are asking “How do I pay this motor vehicle tax bill?” start with the Tax Collector. If you are asking “Why is this vehicle still on my tax roll?” or “Can I get a credit because I sold the car?” start with the Assessor’s Office.
Westport Delinquent Taxes, Interest, Real Estate Liens and Collection Costs
Taxes must be paid within one month of the due date to avoid penalty interest. Westport’s FAQ states delinquent taxes are subject to interest at 1.5% per month, with a $2 minimum, from the original due date.
Late tax handling is not just about paying the original bill amount. Interest, lien fees, collection costs, DMV consequences for motor vehicle taxes, and real estate lien procedures can turn a small missed bill into a larger problem.
Interest from original due date
The Town FAQ says interest applies at 1.5% per month, or any part thereof, from the original due date, with a $2 minimum. Confirm the current total before paying late.
Real estate lien notices
Westport’s calendar notes tax lien notices in May for real estate and sewer balances. Liens may be filed with the Town Clerk’s Office in June.
Lien release cost
The FAQ notes a $24 charge to release each lien. At payment time, all interest, taxes and fees must be paid before the lien can be released.
What to do if you are already late
Confirm the current amount due
Do not pay an old amount from a notice without checking current interest and fees. Call the Tax Collector if the online amount is unclear.
Identify the bill type
Real estate, sewer, motor vehicle and personal property delinquency can create different consequences. Motor vehicle delinquency can affect DMV renewal or registration.
Save proof after payment
If you are paying late, keep proof showing amount, date, bill type and any lien or interest details. This is important for DMV clearance, closing, refinance or lien release questions.
How to Get a Westport Tax Receipt or Payment Confirmation
A receipt can matter for mortgage escrow, refinancing, DMV clearance, sale closing, business records, sewer balance questions or proof that a bill was paid before interest.
Online payment receipt
Save the confirmation screen and any email confirmation. Check that it shows the bill type, period, amount, and payer details.
Mail payment receipt
The Town FAQ notes that taxpayers can send a self-addressed postage-paid envelope if they want a receipt sent back. A cancelled check can also serve as proof.
In-person payment receipt
Ask for proof before leaving Room 109. Check the bill period, amount, and taxpayer name while you are still at the counter.
Receipt should show
- Bill type
- Tax year or installment
- List number or bill reference
- Amount paid
- Payment date
- Confirmation number when available
Save extra proof
- Bank/card confirmation
- Cancelled check
- Mortgage escrow proof
