Billing & Making Payments

Town of Bridgewater tax and water bill payments must be received by the Town Office by the due date to avoid applicable interest charges. If you are paying by mail or through your bank, please allow enough time for your payment to reach the Town Office by the due date.

Interest will not be adjusted if received by the Town after the due date. We encourage you to pay your tax and water bills by the due dates to avoid our collection procedures.

TAX BILLS AND DUE DATES
Interim tax bills for approximately half the year's taxes will be mailed in April and come due the last day of May. The final bill for the year will be billed in August, due the end of September.

The interest rate is 1% per month (12% annually) and will be charged the first day of every month that the account is in arrears
