To change your address with the Town of Winchester tax office, please email your name, address and license plate number, (and tax bill list number, if possible).
You can also fill out and mail the change of address form to the Tax Collector Office.
PLEASE BE SURE TO NOTIFY THE POST OFFICE OF YOUR FORWARDING ADDRESS TO ELIMINATE MAIL RETURNS TO THIS OFFICE.
Address changes should be made promptly to the following departments to insure the correct mailing of tax bills:
- Real Estate and Personal Property Bills - notify Assessor at (860) 379-5461
- Water and Sewer Bills - notify Department of Public Works at (860) 379-4101
- Motor Vehicle Tax Bills - notify Department of Motor Vehicles promptly to change both license and registration information. This can be done online at the Connecticut DMV website.
Tax Bills Returned for Incorrect Addresses
A number of tax bills are generally returned to the tax office for incorrect address, lack of forwarding address, etc. after a mass mailing of tax bills. Anyone not receiving a tax bill should come to the tax office or click here to see if a bill has been generated or get a copy of the bill for their records. To insure prompt receipt of tax bills and avoid delinquent interest charges, taxpayers are encouraged to change both their registration AND license immediately at the department of motor vehicles when a change of address has occurred.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
IF YOU HAVE MOVED OUT OF STATE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU NOTIFY THE CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY TO CANCEL YOUR CONNECTICUT REGISTRATION TO AVOID FUTURE TAXATION OF VEHICLE. ANY VEHICLE WITH A VALID CONNECTICUT REGISTRATION AS OF OCTOBER 1 WILL RECEIVE A TAX BILL DUE THE FOLLOWING JULY 1. DMV MUST BE NOTIFIED OF YOUR NEW ADDRESS FOR BOTH LICENSE AND REGISTRATION TO AVOID DELAYS IN MAILING OR MAIL RETURNS.
