How to pay Town of Greenwich taxes online
Use the Town-linked MyTaxBill system only after you know which account and installment you intend to pay. The portal separates tax bills from sewer/water/miscellaneous records.
Which Greenwich tax-search method should you use?
The fastest search is usually the identifier printed on the bill. If you do not have it, use the broadest reliable information first and narrow only when several records appear.
| Search route | Enter | Returns | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Last name + first initial, or business name; no punctuation | All bill types | You know the taxpayer/business but not the bill number. |
| Property location | Property number + street name; omit Street/Court/Lane suffix | Real estate + personal property | You know the Greenwich address. |
| Bill number / Tax ID | Grand List year + bill type + bill number or Tax ID | Matching bill | Printed bill, notice or tax document is available. |
| Account number | Account number shown on bill | Real estate + personal property | Fast exact lookup. |
| MV / supplemental link | Link year + link type + link number | Motor vehicle + supplemental vehicle | Vehicle-tax and DMV-release research. |
| Account ID / Link ID / DBA | Exact identifier or doing-business-as name | Matching account | Business or vehicle notice uses an alternate ID. |

Greenwich CT tax due dates and late-interest rules
Use the dated bill for the controlling deadline. The Town’s standing FAQ explains the normal schedule; the separate 2026 notice below shows how a weekend or holiday can change the last no-interest day.
The Town FAQ says July 1 bills can normally be paid through August 1 and January 1 bills through February 1 without interest, subject to the weekend/holiday rule.
1.5% per month or part of a month, 18% annually, from the original due date. Minimum interest is $2. Additional collection costs may apply.
The July 2026 no-interest window has ended
This is a historical/current-status note for the 2026 July billing cycle—not a reusable deadline for later bills.
Mortgage escrow, multiple bills and payment-proof checks
Motor vehicle tax, sold vehicles and DMV release
The Tax Collector handles what is billed and paid; the Assessor handles whether the vehicle should remain assessed or qualifies for an adjustment.

Lauren Elliott
Town Hall, First Floor101 Field Point Road
Greenwich, CT 06830
Phone: 203-622-7885
Hours: Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.
Property record card email: prc@greenwichct.org
Email the Parcel ID to prc@greenwichct.org. The Town lists $1 per field/property record card.
Assessor page lists motor vehicle, personal property and real estate list files at $10 per list.
CD-ROM or USB is listed at $40, with $5 shipping for mailed copies.
Greenwich personal-property declaration: filing before payment
Business personal property is an assessment task first and a Tax Collector task after a bill is issued. Greenwich says taxable business assets such as machinery, equipment, furniture, tools, fixtures, computers and leasehold improvements must be declared annually; business inventory is not taxable.
The Assessor says declarations are mailed to businesses in September and are due by November 1 each year. Confirm the current-year form and any weekend/holiday instruction before filing.
A written extension request must reach the Assessor by November 1. Do not assume an extension is automatic because the business filed in a prior year.
2025 revaluation and the 10.125 Greenwich mill rate
The July 2026 tax year combines a town-wide revaluation with a lower mill rate. Looking only at the mill-rate percentage change can therefore mislead a property owner whose assessed value changed substantially.
Greenwich assesses taxable property at 70% of fair market value.
The 2025 revaluation reflects value as of October 1, 2025 and became effective for the July 1, 2026 bill.
10.125 mills, compared with 12.041 in the FY 2025–26 budget.
What the final budget calculation shows
| Budget figure | 2025–26 | 2026–27 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated Grand List | $36.877B | $46.228B | Revaluation materially changed the taxable-value base. |
| Required tax levy | $444.040M | $468.045M | The levy still rose even though the mill rate fell. |
| Mill rate | 12.041 | 10.125 | A lower rate does not automatically mean every property bill is lower. |
Greenwich assessment appeals: current 2026 status and evidence
The 2025 Grand List written-application deadline was February 20, 2026 at 5 p.m.; those hearings began in March. That 2026 filing window is closed.
The Town currently lists a 2025 Grand List motor-vehicle hearing for September 10, 2026, 5–7 p.m. in the Gisborne Room. No appointment is required; the appeal application must be completed before meeting the Board.
What the 2025 Grand List real-property appeal form asked you to prepare
The PDF linked below is specifically the 2025 Grand List / February 20, 2026 real-property form. Use it to understand the evidence requested, not as a substitute for the form required in a later filing cycle.
Senior tax relief, veterans, blindness and disability
The Assessor—not the Tax Collector—administers Greenwich exemptions and credits. A credit reduces tax; an exemption reduces assessed value.
2025 Grand List senior/disabled local relief: 2026 filing cycle
| Requirement | 2026-cycle guidance | Practical proof |
|---|---|---|
| Age / status | 65+ by Dec. 31, 2025; qualifying surviving spouse 60+; and/or disabled homeowner | New senior applicants provide proof of age; disabled applicants provide current award proof. |
| Greenwich / residence | Greenwich taxpayer at least one year; property is primary residence for at least 183 days/year | Application and residency/ownership information. |
| Assessment ceiling | Residence assessment could not exceed $2,281,335 on the 2025 Grand List | Confirm Assessor record. |
| Income | All-source income limit $86,500, including gross Social Security | 2025 federal return, SSA-1099 and other qualifying-income documents. |
| Town status | Applicant could not owe delinquent Greenwich taxes and first had to apply for eligible state programs | Town/account review and state-program filing where applicable. |
Other Assessor-administered exemptions
Greenwich lists benefits for qualifying resident veterans. DD-214 filing with the Town Clerk before October 1 is part of the Town’s published route for the basic veteran exemption.
The Town lists a $3,000 assessment exemption for qualifying applicants who file the required certification before October 1.
The Town lists a $1,000 assessment exemption for qualifying Social Security disability-pension recipients who file the award letter and application before October 1.
