Pay online step by step

Start from the Town’s official payment page Open the Revenue Collector’s Online Bill Payment page rather than following an advertisement or an unfamiliar search result.
Open the official account system Follow the Town’s payment link and locate the correct Town of Killingly tax, Borough of Danielson tax or sewer account.
Confirm the account before paying Check the name, bill or list information, property or vehicle details and amount due. A tax bill may contain multiple installments, so confirm which installment is currently unpaid.
Review the convenience fee The Town’s payment information currently lists a 2.99% charge for credit or debit card payments and a $0.95 EFT charge. Confirm the final fee displayed by the payment system before submitting.
Save your confirmation Online users can receive an email confirmation. Keep it until the payment appears correctly on the account.
Online payments may not solve every urgent problem immediately. If you need a same-day answer about a delinquent balance, DMV clearance, a lien or an amount that does not match your records, call the Revenue Collector before relying on an online transaction.

Tax calendar

Killingly property tax due dates

Killingly bills taxes from the October 1 Grand List in July of the following year. The Revenue Collector states that bills are mailed once a year, so taxpayers should not expect a new mailed bill before every quarterly installment.

Regular Killingly billing schedule
Bill type Payment schedule Regular due date(s)
Real estate over $100 Quarterly July 1, October 1, January 1, April 1
Personal property over $100 Quarterly July 1, October 1, January 1, April 1
Real or personal property under $100 Due in full July 1
Regular motor vehicle tax Due in full July 1
Supplemental motor vehicle tax Due in full January 1
Thirty-day payment window: The Town says taxpayers have 30 days from a tax due date to pay without penalty. Because weekends, holidays and special notices can affect an exact final payment date, verify the current collection notice rather than calculating the deadline from memory.

Mail correctly

Where to mail a Killingly tax payment

Killingly publishes two different mailing instructions. Using the right one matters because a payment mailed to the wrong destination can take longer to reach the account.

During the collection month with the original bill
Revenue Collector
Dept 1650
PO Box 4110
Woburn, MA 01888-4110
Delinquent, missing bill or outside the installment month
Revenue Collector
172 Main Street
Killingly, CT 06239

What to include

  • Write the applicable list number or numbers on the check or money order.
  • Make the payment payable to the Town of Killingly.
  • Include a copy of the bill when following the Town’s regular collection-month mailing instructions.
  • If you want a mailed receipt, the Town instructs taxpayers to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope with the bill copies.
Online-banking checks: The Town specifically instructs taxpayers to address online-banking checks to Revenue Collector, 172 Main Street, Killingly, CT 06239 rather than the collection-month lockbox.
Delinquent accounts

If a Killingly tax payment is late

The Town’s Important Dates page states that delinquent interest is 18% annually, calculated at 1.5% per month or any fraction of a month from the due date. This makes it important to obtain the current payoff amount rather than paying only the original installment shown on an old bill.

You are not sure what is owed Use the online account lookup or call 860-779-5330 for the current balance before mailing or submitting payment.
You cannot pay the full delinquency Contact the Revenue Collector promptly. The Town’s delinquent-tax page says staff may work with taxpayers and specifically refers to payment plans.
A lien or collection action is involved Contact the office before assuming a normal payment will close the matter. The Town states that liens are filed on delinquent properties and some accounts can be referred for collection.
You need a building or landfill permit Killingly states that local rules can restrict permits when municipal taxes are delinquent, so resolve the account with the Revenue Collector before relying on a permit application.

The Town also conducts real-estate tax collection actions under Connecticut law. If a delinquency has already progressed beyond an ordinary late installment, request an exact payoff and instructions directly from the office.

Town of Killingly: Delinquent Taxes

Motor vehicles

Killingly motor vehicle tax payments and DMV clearance

Regular Killingly motor vehicle tax bills are due in full on July 1. Vehicles that become taxable after the regular October 1 assessment point can receive a supplemental bill due January 1.

If an unpaid motor vehicle tax has caused a Connecticut DMV compliance problem, paying the balance does not necessarily mean the DMV record changes instantly. The Town’s online-payment information advises that a municipal tax release may take approximately 24 to 48 hours to update with DMV.

Before attempting registration: Confirm that the tax balance has cleared and check for any other DMV compliance issues. If timing is urgent, contact the Revenue Collector before choosing a payment method.
Local distinction

Killingly Town taxes are not always the same as fire-district taxes

Killingly contains multiple fire districts. The Town’s online-payment guidance states that fire-district taxes generally must be paid directly to the applicable fire department and cannot be collected at Town Hall, with the Borough of Danielson handled differently because the Town has collected its tax through the Town system since July 2013.

This distinction matters because a Danielson, Dayville, East Killingly or other local mailing address does not by itself prove which fire district applies to a property. Use the tax bill and official district information rather than assuming jurisdiction from the postal address.

Danielson residents: The Town states that the Borough of Danielson tax bill is included with the Town tax bill under the arrangement effective July 1, 2013.
Right office

Revenue Collector vs. Killingly Assessor

The Revenue Collector is the office to contact about paying a billed tax, an unpaid balance, payment history, delinquency, interest or collection status. Assessment questions are different.

Contact the Revenue Collector for
  • Current tax balance
  • Payment status
  • Online or mailed payments
  • Delinquent taxes and interest
  • Tax liens and collection questions
  • Motor vehicle tax payment clearance
Contact the Assessor for
  • Property assessment information
  • Property record cards
  • Assessment corrections
  • Motor vehicle assessment questions
  • Applicable exemptions or assessment programs

Paying a tax bill does not change the underlying assessment. If you believe the taxable value or property information itself is wrong, start with the Assessor rather than asking the Revenue Collector to change the valuation.

Before paying

Quick Killingly tax-payment checklist

Confirm the account Match the bill or list number, taxpayer information and property or vehicle before submitting money.
Check the installment Real estate and personal property bills over $100 may have quarterly installments even though the Town mails the bill only once.
Check the collector Do not send a separate fire-district bill to Town Hall unless the Town specifically handles that district.
Check the amount if late Interest can accrue by month or fraction of a month, so an older printed amount may no longer be the payoff figure.
