ADD ON MOTOR VEHICLE NOTICE (updated 11/6/2023)

Municipal Assessors throughout the State have noticed that the number of vehicles renewing registrations with previously expired plates has been increasing dramatically in recent years. The Connecticut Association of Assessing Officers has requested that the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles provide each town with a listing of re-registered vehicles that had previously been unreported to towns due to a lapse in registration.

Each town has now received a list of motor vehicles that were previously registered, “fell off” the DMV registration list, and were then re-registered using the same customer ID. Because these vehicles were not reported to the town for the full Grand List period, a total of 34 add-on tax bills have recently been generated and mailed to those affected. The bills were added to the 2020 and 2021 regular motor vehicle lists.

In future years, the DMV will provide data when each subsequent regular and supplemental list is released, so that late re-registered vehicles can be added in a more-timely manner.

Please contact the Lisbon Assessor’s Office at 860-376-5115 or via email at assessor@lisbonct.com if there are any questions regarding add-on motor vehicle bills. We will be happy to explain the Grand List period, add-on process and valuation of your motor vehicle.
