r/StamfordCT

Are they doing this to get scares out of people? I use this route daily as it's the easiest route I can do to get to High Ridge Rd.

Total price it’s looking to cost $18k is this a normal cost?

11k for the funeral home and about 7k for the cemetery portion

Says it's 25 but doesn't seem like anyone goes under 35 unless there's traffic. Should they just update it or should cops actually enforce the speed limit? Talking more so in the stretch north of UConn by the firehouse

I received a notice TaxServ that I owe taxes to the city of Stamford from over 12 years ago. The interest and penalties are way more than the tax that is considered delinquent. I moved out of the state before that time so I am not sure how I owe this tax. The letter says I could provide proof to dispute, but this is from more than a decade ago and I am not sure what proof I can provide from back them. Also, how come they have not reached out to me if they thought I had an overdue payment, interesting that they are reaching out to me 12 years later to demand this payment! Why did they wait 12 years to contact me about this? Also, if I do not pay, what kind of measure they have to further pursue this? the town website says they may report it to the credit bureaus. Anyone have any experience with this? I will dispute this but what if they don't agree...

Delinquent Taxes | Stamford, CT
Motor Vehicle Taxes

Per state statute, delinquent motor vehicle taxes are reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).  DMV will deny registration renewal on all vehicles in your name and any new vehicle registration until all taxes, interest, and fees are paid in full.  To obtain a clearance for DMV, payment can be made in cash, money order, or bank check at the tax office and clearance will be processed in 24-48 hours.  CLEARANCE FOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION IS NOT IMMEDIATE!  Credit cards, debit cards, or e-checks paid online require 3 business days before a clearance will be issued.  There is a 5 day waiting period if paid by personal check.  When motor vehicle taxes become delinquent for 1 year, the account will be referred to an outside collection agency.  A collection fee of 14% will be added to the bill, and the past due taxes may be reported to a credit bureau.

Hi! I (33F) recently realized (lol) I don’t have many friends in the area (all of mine are still in NYC) and am looking to pick up new hobbies that’s not scrolling endlessly on my phone. The parks & rec center is doing tennis lessons starting in July for $155 for 5 lessons. I think it would be a lot better with a friend if anyone is interested! I’m a total beginner with little to no hand/eye coordination but I am determined to learn!! DM if interested.

I’m moving to Norwalk for a job in July for a one year program. I’m from a big city so I’m trying to decide if I should live in Norwalk and be closer to work, or if the short commute would be worth living somewhere like Stamford that feels a little more lively. If I was going to live in Stamford, not considering budget what areas/ apartments would you recommend for young people? Would love to live somewhere that is nice as well as walkable. Thanks so much!
