Tax
Collection
Tax bills are mailed ONLY once every
August for the tax year. One-half payment is due in
October, and the remaining one-half payment is due in
April. If you purchase a property after the tax bills are mailed, you will
not receive a new bill in your name until the following tax year mailing. Your attorney should have made you aware of this and all
outstanding taxes due are your responsibility. Contact the Town Clerk's
office if you need a copy of the bill at (802) 446-2336.
Effective with the 2006-07 tax bill, the Town of Wallingford will charge a $25
fee for all checks returned for any reason.

Dog licensing is an annual event. Dogs more than six months of
age may be licensed any time after January 1st of a calendar year, but must be
licensed no later than April 1st of the same year in order to avoid the
additional fee assessment. If a dog reaches 6 months of age after April 1st, the
owner must apply for a license within 30 days; the fee is reduced by half after
October 1st.
All dogs must have a current rabies vaccination.
All dogs over three months of age shall be vaccinated against rabies. The
initial vaccination shall be valid for 12 months. Within 9 to 12 months of
the initial vaccination, the animal must receive a booster vaccination.
All subsequent vaccinations following the initial vaccination shall be valid for
36 months.
