When Will Durham’s Tax Bills Be Sent?
Once the Board of Education budget referendum is approved, the Board of Finance will establish the mill rate. The Tax Collector's Office and billing vendor will then complete the tax billing process, which is expected to take approximately 12 to 15 working days.
The 2025 Grand List Tax Bills for Durham may not be available for the first installment due date of July 1, 2026. In accordance with CT. Gen. S.S. 12-142; Durham taxpayers will have 30 days from the date the bills are mailed to pay without any interest penalty.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. The Tax Collector's Office is committed to issuing tax bills as quickly as possible once the required budget and mill rate have been finalized.
After the 30-day payment period, unpaid bills will be charged interest from the July 1 due date at a rate of 1.5% per month (or any portion of a month). All delinquent interest will be calculated from July 1, 2026, per State Statute.
