Delinquent Motor Vehicle Excise

The Town of Montague uses Arthur P. Jones & Associates as our Deputy Collector for the purpose of collecting delinquent excise taxes and parking tickets. Arthur P. Jones & Associates is located in Easthampton MA, and has been in the excise collection business for several years.

The owner of a motor vehicle has 30 days after issuance of an excise bill to pay the current excise tax. If it remains unpaid after thirty days a demand bill is issued adding interest and a demand fee of $5.00. If an excise tax bill remains unpaid after demand notice due date, it is forwarded to Arthur P. Jones & Associates for collection. At this time their fees are also added to the bill. The number to call for delinquent excise is 877-378-9265.
