I need to register my car. Do I need to pay my taxes first?

Yes. If you owe delinquent property taxes on any vehicle in your name, you may not renew any registrations at the Department of Motor Vehicles without paying your taxes first. All outstanding taxes in your name (this includes any tax bill currently due but not yet delinquent) must be paid in full by cash, bank check, money order, or by a credit/debit card online for an immediate clearance. NO EXCEPTIONS. (CT.Gen. Stat.14-33)

Please note that any other form of payment including paying with an EFT online, will result in a 10 business day waiting period before a DMV release will be processed.

If you have any questions regarding immediate clearance, please contact our office for assistance at TaxCollector@WiltonCT.org or (203) 563-0125.
