“The City of Danbury provides exceptional public services to our residents, and the goal of the Motor Vehicle Compliance Program is to ensure that those who live within the city pay their fair share in taxes. I want to thank Donna Murphy, the City of Danbury’s Tax Assessor, for implementing and overseeing this important program for our community,” said Mayor Esposito.

The Motor Vehicle Compliance Program utilizes license plate scanning technology and extensive investigation to identify vehicles permanently located within Danbury that are not registered with the city.
