The tax office sends out a "Statement of Unpaid Taxes" after the second installment as a reminder. In addition, at the end of each fiscal year, real estate liens are filed against all properties on which there is either a delinquent real estate, or sewer use balance. At least fifteen days prior to the filing of these liens, a notice of intent to lien is sent to each delinquent taxpayer. If payment is not made, a lien is filed with the Town Clerk’s office. There is a $24.00 charge to release each lien, regardless of the delinquent amount due. At the time of payment, all interest, taxes and fees must be paid before the lien can be released.
