Property Tax Initiative
The Connecticut Commission on Aging, with support from the General Assembly's Select Committee on Aging, has compiled an inventory of tax relief programs for older adults offered by Connecticut’s cities and towns. The survey results were shared with towns, the General Assembly and other interested parties to help promote thoughtful and effective tax-relief policies.
