During this constantly changing situation with COVID-19, in an attempt to prevent spreading of the virus, some towns might modify their business hours for the public, or suspend them altogether. Therefore, before driving to your local collector to pay your current-year taxes, or for any other town clerk business, it would be best to call your local town tax collector’s office to verify they can process your tax payment in person. Mailing your payment might be the preferred option at this time.
