Are there long tax collection lines at City Hall?

Yes-during the months of July and January. You should expect to wait in line if you plan to pay in person during this period. Lines are longest at lunchtime, and especially as the last day to pay approaches. If you want to avoid waiting in line, consider paying your bill online, by mail, or by paying at a PeoplesUnited Bank branch (if paying current taxes during January and July). When paying in person, bring your entire tax bill with you, and write your list numbers on your check for faster service.
