I live in Chestnut Hill, why haven't I received my motor vehicle excise bill?
To ensure that you receive an excise bill from the Town of Brookline, it is strongly recommended when registering your vehicle that you DO NOT LIST CHESTNUT HILL as the place of garaging. Chestnut Hill is a Post Office address that includes parts of Boston, Newton, and Brookline. Brookline zip codes are 02445, 02446, and 02467. DO NOT IGNORE AN EXCISE BILL. Even if you think it is incorrect, failure to pay or properly apply for an abatement will prevent you from renewing your driver’s license or motor vehicle registration with the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles.
