Excise bills are mailed out several times during the year depending on when your car is registered.  The registration of a vehicle triggers the bill process.  First, the Registry of Motor Vehicles will send a tape to the assessor’s office listing your name, place of garaging, mailing address, date of registration, type of vehicle, date issued and assessed value of vehicle.  The tax collector then will send a tax bill to the registered owner of the vehicle. The first mailing is usually in March for anything registered as of January 1^st. The other mailings are generated throughout the year depending when the Registry of Motor Vehicles sends the files to the towns.
