The motor vehicle bill covers the period from October 1 to September 30.

Your car is on the Grand List because CT DMV records show that it was registered in Madison.

IN ORDER TO PRORATE/REMOVE YOUR VEHICLE FROM THE CURRENT GRAND LIST YOU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE:

1. REQUIRED: A PLATE RECEIPT from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) indicating that the vehicle’s registration has been cancelled, or that the vehicles registration plates have been lost or stolen.
