CITY HALL MOVE

The Bristol Tax Office has moved to a temporary location due to City Hall renovations. We are located at, 150 Main Street, Bristol.  Parking is available in the back parking lot off Riverside Avenue.

Welcome to the Bristol Tax Office. The City Tax Collector is appointed for a four year term by the Mayor with confirmation of the City Council. The office is staffed by five employees who are responsible for the billing, collection and accounting of all revenue so designated under State Statutes, the City Charter and various local ordinances.

 NEW: DMV no longer accepts paper clearances. If you fail to pay your taxes on time and allow them to become delinquent, it will take between 48 and 72 hours for your name to be cleared at DMV via electronic file. You will NOT be able to register/renew on the same day you pay delinquent taxes. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL LAST MINUTE TO PAY YOUR DELINQUENT TAXES. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY!

SPECIFICALLY: A list of people who pay with cash by noon will be submitted to DMV via electronic file that evening and will be cleared to register the next business day. If you pay after noon, or any time of day with a credit card, you will be cleared to register at least 48 hours later. ***

***Of course, if you pay with a credit card on Friday, you will not be able to conduct business at DMV until Tuesday.

Whether you pay electronically or with a paper check, if your payment is returned unpaid by the bank, you will be charged a $20 returned payment fee.

If your vehicle was sold, stolen, totaled, or you are being billed for property you no longer own, please visit the Assessor’s Office. You may be entitled to a refund or adjustment to your bill.

For Water/Sewer information, please call the Water Department at 860-582-7431.

Bristol has NO FIRE DISTRICTS.
