Payment can be made by credit card / debit card or electronic check through the Town website ONLY.
Online Payment of Delinquent Motor Vehicle Tax - Transaction Delay
If delinquent motor vehicle taxes are being paid via credit card / debit card or electronic check the Town of Old Saybrook does not receive funds associated with the transaction for 3 to 5 business days after the transaction is created. We will not release the CT DMV delinquent tax ‘hold’ associated with the name in which delinquent tax is linked until the Town has received said funds. All tax due in the name of including jointly registered motor vehicles must be paid for release with the CT DMV. The best way to avoid problems with compliance at the CT DMV is to pay your motor vehicle taxes on time, before they are late.
The quickest way to be released at the CT DMV is to pay cash at the Tax Office.
Priority of Payment Application
When paying bills online – understand the oldest bills need to be paid first – penalty (interest), fees and tax working forward to more current bills. If a current year bill is paid and there is tax due from a previous year (older bill) we will apply the payment to the oldest bill or bills first.
