From the Assessor's Office
The Renter’s Relief program will begin April 1 and will run through October 1st. You will need proof of rent payments and utilities paid in the 2024 calendar year.
Motor vehicle adjustments
In order to have a motor vehicle bill adjusted we need two forms of proof because the tax is a car tax not a road tax.
- The first is a copy of your motor vehicle plate return receipt
- The second is something proving you got rid of the vehicle. For a list of accepted proofs look on the assessor’s website or call the office.
- If you traded a vehicle and kept the same plate do not bring us any documentation because DMV will automatically process the adjustments.
Income and Expense Forms
Connecticut General Statute 12-63c requires all owners of rental real property to annually file an Income and Expense form with the Assessor’s Office by June 1st. The information filed and furnished with this report will remain confidential and is not open to public inspection. Any information related to the actual rental and operating expenses shall not be a public record and is not subject to the provisions of Section 1-19 (Freedom of Information) of the Connecticut General Statutes. All properties that are rented or leased, including commercial, retail, industrial, land and residential properties, except “such property used for residential purposes, containing not more than six dwelling units and in which the owner resides” must file and in the case of a non-residential property that is partially rented and partially owner-occupied.
In accordance with Section 12-63c(d), of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended, any owner of rental real property who fails to file this form or files an incomplete or false form with intent to defraud, shall be subject to a penalty assessment equal to a Ten Percent (10%) increase in the assessed value of such property.
Quadrennial Filing
CGS 12-81, (7), (10), (11), (16) and 12-87 require the filing of a tax exempt return for seeking property tax status either new or any additional property. Due no later than November 1, 2025.
The Assessor’s Office is open Tuesday 4:30-7:30pm and Friday. The telephone number is 860-974-1291.
