If I am being improperly billed for a motor vehicle, what should I do?

Contact the Assessor’s office at (860) 376-5115, or by fax at (860) 376-6545. DO NOT IGNORE YOUR BILL.

If any of these situations applies to you, you may be entitled to a credit:

  • If your vehicle has been sold and the plates returned to DMV;
  • Your vehicle has been stolen and not recovered
  • Your vehicle has been repossessed
  • Your vehicle has been declared a total loss
  • Your vehicle has been junked
  • You have moved from Connecticut and have registered the vehicle out of state

Contact the Assessor’s office for information regarding the acceptable forms of proof for the issuance of a credit. Two forms of written proof are required. You must apply for a credit within a limited time, so do not delay.
