AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEADLINE FOR PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENT APPEALS.

HB 5053 changes the deadline for filing property tax assessment appeals from February 20th to August 1st. This bill directly affects property owners in Connecticut who wish to challenge their tax assessments by requiring them to submit appeals earlier in the year. The key provision amends Section 12-111 of the general statutes to set the new August 1st deadline and adjust related timelines. The bill makes no changes to tax rates or assessment methodology, only to the filing deadline. This procedural change simplifies the appeals process by extending the window for property owners to appeal their assessments.
