Question: What if I sold my car but received an Excise Tax bill?

Answer: Pay the bill. Read the back of the bill. Contact the Assessing Department. If a tax abatement is granted by the Assessing Department, you will receive a refund of any tax overpaid. You will be responsible for paying fees and interest charges that accrue on unpaid bills even if the Assessing Department grants an abatement of a portion of the tax. See the Assessing Department’s Frequently Asked Questions on their Web page.
