COVID-19 Deferment Program
In compliance with Executive Order 9R the Town of South Windsor continues to offer the Deferment Program that was approved by Resolution on April 20, 2020. The program is an extended grace period program for the taxes due on January 1, 2021 only.
What is “deferred” is not a tax but rather the last day to pay without interest. Eligible taxpayers (“eligible” will be defined later) are entitled to defer their payment deadline until April 1, 2021, instead of the usual 30 days. The plan covers any real estate*, motor vehicle, supplemental motor vehicle or personal property tax, and any municipal water, sewer or electric rate, charge or assessment, as well as benefit assessments under the C-PACE program under C.G.S. § 16a-40g. This program is not available for taxes or fees that are already past due. It is not an amnesty or waiver of interest or other charges on taxes that are already delinquent.
*An individual taxpayer’s eligibility for the program is irrelevant if the taxes on the property are paid on their behalf by an escrow agent, financial institution, mortgage service agent or bank. The escrow agents are still expected to remit tax payments on behalf of their customers according to the regular timetable.
Application Deadline is Wednesday, January 13, 2021. Applications are available by clicking here and may be submitted:
