AN ACT CONCERNING THE RECOVERY OF ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS IN ACTIONS FOR WRONGFUL PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENT.

HB 6545 allows property owners who successfully challenge their property tax assessments in court to recover reasonable attorney's fees and court costs from the government. This bill amends Section 12-119 of the general statutes to change the current rule, where winning parties typically couldn't recover these expenses. The key provision directly affects property owners who win lawsuits arguing their tax assessments were incorrect. It makes legal challenges more accessible by reducing the financial risk for individuals seeking to correct overassessments.
