The first quarterly payment for Real and Personal Property taxes on the Grand List of October 1, 2025 is due and payable July 1, 2026. Motor Vehicle taxes are also due and payable July 1, 2026. The grace period for payment extends to August 3, 2026 to avoid interest charges.

You may pay by phone, by text or online using either an electronic check or a credit card for a fee ($0.95 if you pay with an electronic check). Please consult your bill insert or visit www.ridgefieldct.gov for more information. Please note that online payments that are not made through our service provider must be in the office no later than the last day to pay to be considered on time.

If payment is not made within one month of the due date, the installment will become delinquent and will immediately be subject to 3% interest.
