M&T Bank tax payment option in Norwich
For the 2026 July collection period, the City of Norwich announced that taxpayers could make certain current tax payments at two M&T Bank branches in Norwich. You do not need to be an M&T customer to use this city-arranged option.

Paying delinquent Norwich motor vehicle taxes for DMV clearance
If a registration or renewal is blocked because of delinquent Norwich motor vehicle taxes, paying online does not mean DMV clearance is immediate. The city says online payments are processed by the Tax Collector on the next business day, and automatic DMV clearance takes additional time.
The city’s FAQ says automatic DMV clearance can take 10 business days. Manual clearance may be requested after five full business days. Faster requests require proof that the payment has cleared the bank account.
The city’s FAQ also states that automatic clearance can take 10 business days. A taxpayer may call the office to request clearance as soon as the next business day.
What happens if a Norwich tax payment is late?
For the first 2026 installment, Norwich stated that payments made or postmarked after August 3, 2026 accrue interest at 1.5% per month, equivalent to 18% per year, or $2, whichever is greater. The city also states that interest goes back to the original July 1 due date.
If an online lookup shows back taxes, a demand, a lien notice or collection activity, do not assume the displayed principal balance is the only amount due. Contact the Tax Collector when you need an exact payoff amount or instructions for a delinquent account.
