It is important to note that failure to receive a bill for any reason will not invalidate the tax and/or the interest penalty per CT State Statute Sec. 12-130.

Any unpaid motor vehicle tax bills after August 2, 2021 will be reported to DMV and may be reported to a collection agency, and additional fees may be applied.
