Failure to receive a tax bill does not invalidate the tax or interest due. As owners of property, taxpayers are responsible to know when their taxes are due. Failure to have received a bill does not exempt the taxpayer from payment of all taxes and all interest charges and collection cost, per Conn. Gen. Stat. 12-130 and 12- 146. Interest is charged to all late payments. There are no exceptions to this policy.
