Paying Taxes


The Southbury Tax Office sends only one tax bill each year and the bills are mailed out the last day of June. Real estate and personal property tax bills totaling $100 or less are due in a single installment on July 1st and payable without penalty during the month of July. Motor vehicle tax bills are due in a single installment on July 1st regardless of the amount due.

All real estate and personal property taxes more than $100 may be paid in two installments: the first installment being due July 1st and payable during the month of July; and the second installment being due January 1st and payable during the month of January.

For additional information, view our general tax F&Q page.
