Beyond the main homeowners' program, you may also be eligible for other property tax exemptions in Connecticut, such as those for:

BLIND PERSONS

  • Blind persons: A $3,000 exemption is available for those who are legally blind. The State of Connecticut provides for a property tax exemption in the amount of $3,000 to Blind Persons. In order to qualify, a person must, as of October 1st:
  • Be a Connecticut Resident;
  • Be either the record owner of, or hold life use in or be the beneficiary of a trust estate with respect to the property on which the exemption will be applied. In the case of a married couple, either the husband or wife may own, hold life use in or be the beneficiary of a trust with respect to the property for which an exemption is claimed. The married couple must be domiciled together.
  • Make application to the Assessor along with proof of blindness (typically a Certificate of Legal Blindness from the State Board of Education and Services for the Blind) by January 31st. C.G.S. 12-92 contains the definition of legal blindness.

DISABLED

Totally disabled persons: A $1,000 exemption is available for those who are totally disabled and receiving benefits under a program with requirements similar to Social Security.

DISABLED VETERANS

Public Act 24-46, An Act Establishing a Property Tax Exemption for Veterans Who Have a Service-Connected Permanent and Total Disability Rating has been signed into law and will take effect October 1, 2024. Deadlines vary by Town.

Those with disability ratings (provided under CGS § 12-81(20), for veterans with a disability rating of at least 10%). Applicants must generally submit to their town assessor proof of qualifying disability rating (i.e., a permanent and total disability under the new exemption) must be filed with the Assessor by March 31. This deadline may be later in towns that have granted their assessors an extension to file the grand list (CGS § 12-95, as amended by PA 24-46, § 3).
