Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton called on Governor Malloy to follow the lead of governors of New York and New Jersey in signing an executive order allowing people to pay their property taxes early, before Monday, when new tax reform laws take effect.  Because Connecticut has such a high tax burden, Boughton says residents are not benefiting from the tax relief that the rest of the country is going to receive.

Malloy's budget chief said it isn’t practical for Connecticut to allow the prepayments like its neighbors because of differences in state law. 

Meanwhile Danbury City Hall is closed on Fridays so if people want to pay their local January and April quarterly bills, they have to pay the online fee or have them postmarked by December 31st.
