Tax bills are scheduled to be mailed the last week in June, with the first installment due July, 1, 2016. The final day to pay without interest or penalty will be August 1, 2016.
Keep in mind that payments will not be accepted or processed until July 1, 2016. The Office of Policy and Management (OPM) has indicated that outside the provision of 12-163 (Jeopardy) of the Ct. State Statute, tax collectors are NOT authorized to accept early payments.
To ensure immediate and proper posting send or bring the “taxpayer copy” of your three part tax bill. If you want a receipt bring the entire three part tax bill. Payments by mail require a self addressed stamped envelope along with the entire three part tax bill.
Tax information can now be viewed and bills paid (beginning 7/1/16) on-line, on the Town of Orange web-site. The 2015 Grand List information will not be available for viewing until July 1st.
As a reminder: The Tax Office will close at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 30th so that the 2014 Grand List can be balanced and closed. We will have no computer access during this time. The 2015 Grand List information will be loaded and we will begin accepting and processing payments on July 1, 2016.
