Just a Couple Weeks Away — Glastonbury Tax Bill Deadline

Town residents have a little more than two weeks left to pay their annual tax bills without penalty.

Tax bills were mailed out June 30 and were technically due July 1. However, residents have until Aug. 1, to pay without interest. This year, on July 1, the town imposed an additional $3 fee that will be added to each delinquent motor vehicle bill.

The new mill rate for 2013 grand list billing is $35.65.

Residents can pay their taxes on line and here are some of the advantages:

• View/Receive your tax bills online
• Pay your bill from wherever you have Internet access
• Confirm that your payment was received
• Get email reminders when a payment is due
• Faster and easier than writing checks
