I have moved. What is my tax jurisdiction for motor vehicle taxes?
The Town in which you resided as of October 1st will be the Town that you will receive a bill from the following July. If you move out of State after October 1st and registered a motor vehicle in the state where you have become a resident, you might be entitled to an adjustment. If the car was junked, stolen or sold before the end of August, you also would be entitled to an adjustment. Contact the Assessor’s Office for the documentation necessary to process this adjustment. YOUR PLATES MUST BE RETURNED TO THE CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES TO CANCEL THE REGISTRATION. If you move, you must notify the Department of Motor Vehicles of your new address within 48 hours. Be sure that you request a change of address on your driver’s license and on all of your vehicle registrations.
