Tax Due Dates
Real Estate, Personal Property, and water bills are mailed semi-annually. They are mailed in October and April, and water bills go out in May and November. Trash bills are out in early fall and spring. Motor Vehicle Excise bills are mailed throughout the year. All bills are payable on or by the due date indicated on the bill. Late payments will be assessed interest calculated back to the date of mailing following the MA General Law.
To avoid additional charges, payments must be received in the Collector's Office by 4:30 PM on the due date. Please enclose the top portion of the three-part bill to ensure proper credit. Postmarks are not accepted as receipt dates.
Effective 7/1/24 the demand fee for all past-due bills will increase to $15.
If your taxes are paid by a bank or mortgage company, please make sure they have the correct tax information for your account.
Please do not post-date personal checks. Checks are deposited daily. If a bank dishonors a check for any reason, a returned check fee of $25.00 will be added.
Checks should be made payable to “Town of Halifax”
If you use your bank's “On-Line” payments you should be aware that the Town is sent a check from your bank. It may take up to two weeks for the Collector's Office to receive the payment.
Online payments through Unibank can be made until midnight on the due date without incurring additional interest charges.
