Tax Office Responsibilities

The Tax Collector’s office is responsible for:

1. The collection of taxes for RE, PP, and MV.
2. The collection of the WPCA usage bills.
3. The collection of the twenty year Benefit Assessments, which began April 1, 2010 for anyone on the town sewer line.
4. The registration, during the month of October each year, of all the aircraft that are currently based at Chester Airport, which is close to 110 to 118 aircraft, ranging from ultra-lights to multi-engine planes.

Payment for delinquent MV bills that need immediate DMV clearance must be paid by cash, postal money order, bank check or thru your own bank, setting the Tax Collector as an account that needs to be paid. Your own bank payment works well but could take a week for us to receive and process. Any questions, email TaxCollector@chesterct.org or call during business hours at 860 526 0013 x 513 for amount and information!
