With the continuing danger surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Orange has updated its procedures for residents to pay their July tax bills.
The first installment of the taxes on the grand list of Oct. 1, 2019 became due and payable on July 1. Residents are encouraged to remit payments by mail or pay bills online if possible. If a customer wants a receipt when paying by mail other than the canceled check, the entire three-part tax bill can be remitted along with a self-addressed stamped envelope.
To pay online, visit orange-ct.gov and click on the “Pay Tax Online” button. Online e-check, debit and credit payments are made through Point and Pay. All e-check payments charge a flat fee of $2 for up to $10,000, and $10 for any payments over $10,000. All major credit cards are accepted. Point and Pay charges a two-and-one-half percent convenience fee with a minimum of $2. Visa debit can be used for a flat fee of $3.95.
Payments may also be paid in person at the tax collector’s office, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. by check or exact cash. To pay in person you must wear a mask to enter town hall and keep socially distant in line.
The last day to pay without penalty is Aug. 3.
