Tax Collector

Welcome to the Tax Collectors Page! 

The tax collector works alongside the Town Clerk here in the Town Office in order to help facilitate your property taxes, amongst other duties.  We work our best to get the information everywhere it belongs in a timely manor.  

Checks payable to:  "Town of Richmond, or pay by credit card or by cash

Assessment Date: Taxes are based on the assessed value of land and buildings as of April 1st of that year.

Tax Bills:  Are mailed out at the end of September annually.

Tax Year: July 1st to June 30th 

Due Dates: November 10th (1st half) & May 10th (2nd half)

Liens: Tax liens for non-payment are placed in mid-July following the prior September commitment date.

Foreclosures: Tax liens mature 18 months later resulting in automatic foreclosure by State law. Tax liens may affect your credit rating.

Partial Payments: The Town accepts partial payments on taxes at any time with one exception, that exception is foreclosures. (December - February) At that time, payments on current taxes must be made in full. In addition, payments during that time must be cash, money orders or bank checks only on foreclosures.

Tax Club: Allows you to make 11 monthly payments without interest.

Interest: Accrues on a daily basis on past due taxes. When payments are made, they are applied to lien charges (if any) first, then to interest due, and then to taxes (oldest outstanding taxes first).

Mobile Homes: Taxes on mobile homes are treated the same as real estate. The only exception is when a mobile home is being moved out of town the State Law requires that ALL taxes must be paid in full, including the current year even if they have not been committed or billed. In order for the home to be moved, the owner must get a signed release form from the tax collector stating that all taxes are paid.

Tax Exemptions and/or Valuation Questions go to the Assessor's Page.
