Full Notification

Message from the Sherman Tax Collector:

Residents of Sherman:

I hope this message finds you well.  It is that time of year again in the state of Connecticut and the Town of Sherman when the second installment on Real Estate and Personal Property taxes are due; as well as the Motor Vehicle Supplemental taxes. 
 
Payments:
·         They may be mailed to this office on or before February 1, 2019 (last day to pay without penalties); USPS postmarks are honored, they must be postmarked no later than February 1, 2019.  If you would like a receipt please send in the entire bill with a self-addressed stamped envelope.  Address: Sherman Tax Collector, PO Box 39, Sherman, CT 06784 
·         They may be brought into the office personally for payment during regular business hours.  Regular business hours are 9a-12p and 1p-4p Tuesday – Friday.  During January the Tax Office will be open Saturday, January 5, 12, 19 and 26 from 9a-12p.  Personal checks, certified bank checks, cash and money orders are accepted.  Credit/Debit cards are not accepted in the office. 
·         You may make payments online at www.townofshermanct.org by transferring funds from your checking account or by credit/debit card.  There are convenience fees associated with these forms of payment, and you will be notified of them before you complete your transaction.  These fees are charged by the processing company, not the Town of Sherman.  The individual taxpayer is responsible for the fee.
 
Tax bills are sent only once per year.  Real Estate and Personal Property tax bills come with two coupons for payment:  Coupon A was for July 1, 2018 and Coupon B is for January 1, 2019 with 30 day grace periods.  The top portion is for your records.  Motor Vehicle taxes are paid in one installment, as is any Real Estate or Personal Property tax bill under $100. 
 
Motor Vehicle Supplemental tax bills are sent out in December and are due January 1, 2019 with a 30 day grace period.  These are prorated tax bills for vehicles that were purchased, registered or leased after October 1, 2017, and before August 1, 2018.
 
Adjusted/Prorated tax bills are sent throughout the tax year for properties that had improvements or corrections made.  Please note that these Real Estate tax bills are not sent to the escrow company.  They are sent directly to the homeowner.  It is the homeowner’s responsibility to contact their mortgage company, so that timely payment can be made.
 
Note: This message is a courtesy provided by the Sherman Tax Collector and not a requirement pursuant to any state statute.  It is the sole responsibility of the taxpayer to make sure that timely payments are made whether they receive this email or not.
 
Pursuant to §12-130: Failure to send or receive a tax bill does not invalidate the tax.  Taxes, interest and fees are the responsibility of the taxpayer.
