Moved Out-of-Town

By state statute, you pay the town where you resided as of October 1. There is no provision for pro-rating the bills between towns in Connecticut. You must change your address with Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for all of your vehicle registrations. You can obtain a change-of-address form from the DMV site.
