Voluntown’s Planning and Zoning Commission is currently accepting applications to fill the remaining vacant alternate position for the Planning and Zoning Commission.

The P&Z Commission will review the application at the next scheduled meeting after receiving the application.

The Recreation Commission has announced winter programing for youth and adults. For more information visit the Recreation Commission webpage: Recreation Commission (voluntown.gov)

It has been brought to our attention that there are online help wanted postings for a secretary position at the town hall. We are currently NOT hiring and we believe that these copycat postings might be trying to gather personal information, as some ask for background check information. We have found fake postings on Geebo and Salary.com and have reported them.

A public presentation of the Gate Street Recreation Complex Master Plan will be given on Wednesday, October 4th, at 7PM as part of the Voluntown Recreation Commision monthly meeting. The meeting will be livestreamed on the Town of Voluntown CT YouTube Channel. Public questions or comments will only be an in-person option for immediate response. Questions can always be emailed to thanson@voluntown.gov.

For more information on the Gater Street Recreation Complex Master Plan, visit the committee website page, or watch the meetings on YouTube.

Delinquent 2021 Grand List Personal Property and Motor Vehicles bills will be sent to Rossi Law Office for collection after 9/30/2023. Please make every effort to pay as Rossi adds fees to the amount due. You can get the balance amount of your bill online at Voluntown.gov or call the office at 860-376-0453. Thank you!

The on-line payment system is back up and working.  However, because of the high demand statewide they are still experiencing intermittent problems.  Please be patient and keep trying.  Please also understand that payments must be made by midnight tonight, 08/01/2023.  If you cannot get your payment to go through electronically, you can pay by mail with today’s postmark, or come in and pay in person until 7PM.  If you are making a payment after that you can use the drop box at the front of the Town Hall (Street side), no cash in the drop box, please.  Call 860-376-4089 if you have any questions.

If You Pay Taxes, Permits, Fees, to the Town or Transfer Station by Check 

Friendly reminder from Town Hall:

All checks clear the next day. Please make sure you have funds available before presenting you check, especially for taxes.

Thank you!

The Treasury Department has added additional security measures and increased functionality to Town and Transfer Station operations.  The process known as Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) will reduce the time to clear checks presented to the Town or Transfer Station for payment of Taxes, Permits, Fees, etc.  Previously, the process may have taken a week or more to have a check clear your bank account; it may now clear in a day or two.  Please make sure that funds are on deposit and available when you present a check.  Don’t risk incurring overdraft fees from your bank and NSF fees from the Town or Transfer Station.

During these projects there will unfortunately be inconveniences to accessing the Town Hall and the Library, and we apologize for this as we will remain open to the public at all times.
