Property Taxes

Property tax bills are mailed out every August to all property owners of record as of April 1st. Milton's tax bills have 3 installments due September 15th, February 15th and May 15th. The first two installment due dates are not mandatory - property owners can opt to pay their bill, in any increment(s) they choose, as long as it is paid in full by May 15th.

After May 15th a penalty of 8% is assessed and an additional 1% interest each month thereafter.

Payment Options

If you purchased property after April 1st, you can request a copy of the tax bill from the Town Clerk's Office if not received through the closing (sale/purchase) process.

If you have an escrow company, it is your responsibility to send a copy to them for payment. Remember to keep a copy for income tax purposes.
