Tax Collector

Tax collection for the Town of Scotland is handled by the Town of Windham. This arrangement provides for efficiencies not generally available to towns as small as Scotland. Taxes may NOT be paid at Town Hall, either by mail or in person. They must be paid online or to the tax collector located in Windham Town Hall, 979 Main Street, Willimantic. Their hours are:

Monday - Wednesday:  8:00am to 5:00pm

For any other information about the Windham Tax Collector, please visit www.windhamct.com.

You may also pay your taxes online with a Visa or Mastercard.  Fees are as follows:

Neither Windham nor Scotland receives any portion of the fees.

The bills for real estate and personal property are split into two installments; the first is due July 1 and the second due January 1 of each year.  Tax bills are mailed out once per year in June and have two installment stubs, July and January.  We do not re-bill for the January installment.

Motor Vehicle taxes are paid in one installment. Regular motor vehicle bills are due July 1 and supplemental motor vehicle bills (for vehicles registered after Oct. 1) are due January 1.

Mill Rates are posted on the Tax Assessor page

Interest on delinquent taxes accrues at the rate of 1.5% per month.  Connecticut State Statutes 12-145 and 12-146 state that municipal tax collectors do not have the authority to waive interest.  All delinquent motor vehicle bills must be paid by cash or certified bank check. The Department of Motor Vehicles will not register any cars to anyone with a motor vehicle tax delinquency. The Tax Collector can provide a release to the DMV once you have paid off your balance. If you need an overnight release, please provide payment in cash or by bank check.
