The Town of Bristol is excited to provide an easier way to pay your taxes. We have set up the Direct-Debit Tax Payment Program.
The Program
When you participate in the Direct-Debit Tax payment program, your property taxes are automatically withdrawn from your checking, savings, or bank money market account on the due date(s). For your protection, the program is governed by state and federal regulations, and you can stop participating anytime with appropriate notification.
Why Should I Consider Signing Up?
• Provides you peace of mind – No chance of forgetting to pay your taxes on time or no need to worry about your payment being lost in the mail because the payments will be automatically withdrawn from your account on the effective tax due date.
• Your payments are made safely, accurately, and promptly using the Automated Clearing House system, which deposits millions of paychecks and over half of all Social Security checks.
• Saves you time and money – No more writing checks, paying postage, or mailing your payments, not to mention driving your payments to the town office on the due date.
• Utilizes your tax dollars more efficiently by saving the Town time and money.
How Does It Work?
• Sign up for this service with the Town Treasurer at least 15 days before the due date to effectively set up a pre-notification to your bank and delay any unforeseen complications.
• Checking and savings market accounts are accessed through the Direct-Debit Tax payment program.
• If the respective tax due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the payment will be taken out on the next business day without penalty.
• Your bank statement will serve as a receipt for your tax records.
