Vehicle Excise Taxes

Excise taxes are issued throughout the year, when commitments are received from the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The bills are based on information you provide when you register your vehicle. It is very important to keep your information with the Registry current. The procedure to follow should you sell, trade, or junk a vehicle is printed on the back of each bill, or call the Assessors' Office for instruction at 413-655-2300 ext 315.

PARTIAL PAYMENTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED FOR EXCISE TAX PAYMENTS!

Excise taxes are due 30 days from the date of issue. Interest accrues at 12% per annum. After 30 days, a demand bill is issued, with interest and the $10.00 demand fee. Should the demand bill remain unpaid after 14 days, the account will be turned over to the Deputy Collector. After notification from the Deputy Collector, you will be marked at the Registry of Motor Vehicles, and will be unable to renew your license or registration until the delinquent bill is paid. The Deputy Collector’s office phone number is (413) 527-2388. The address is 98 Cottage St., Easthampton, MA 01027. WEBSITE:  WWW. APJONES.com
