I have moved. What is my tax jurisdiction for motor vehicle taxes?
Your tax town is your town of residency as of October 1. If you moved from Norwich after October 1, but still resided in Connecticut, you must pay vehicle taxes to Norwich.

Municipalities within Connecticut do not prorate motor vehicle tax bills for portions of a tax year. If you registered the vehicle in another state, contact the Assessor’s Office.

If you move, you must notify the Department of Motor Vehicles of your new address within 48 hours. You should request a change of address on your driver's license and on each of your vehicle registration(s). The address on the vehicle registration is given to the Tax Collector's Office by the DMV and cannot be changed at the Tax Collector's Office.
