Mission Statement
The Office of the Collector of Taxes is responsible for the timely billing, collection and reconciliation of 95% of the Town of Wilbraham operating revenues. This equates to the issuance of approximately 50,000 bills annually.
Real estate bills are issued quarterly, on a fiscal year basis, and are due August 1, November 1, February 1 and May 1. Water bills are issued semi-annually and are due in June and December. Excise tax bills are billed throughout the year by commitment. The first billing is normally mailed in February and is the largest, when the vast majority of residents receive a bill. The due date is thirty days from date of issue. Please be advised that due dates are approximate.
Recent changes in the Collector's office include the automated processing of Municipal Lien Certificates and the offering of ACH transfers for residents who want to pay their real estate taxes with automatic withdrawals from their checking or savings accounts. If you would like to participate in this program, please call for more details.
The goal of the Collector's office is to perform the duties required by the town in a courteous and efficient manner. Residents are encouraged to call (596-2800, Ext. 206) or stop by if they have any questions or concerns.
