Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Town of Ellington, CTTown

The assessor’s page says the office administers exemptions and tax relief programs targeted to benefit “Active military servicemen and veterans”, blind individuals, charitable organizations, farmers, manufacturers, senior citizens and totally disabled individuals, and prints no veterans’ amounts. The wartime exemption is $1,000 of assessed value under C.G.S. 12-81(19), with the 12-81g(a) additional exemption of twice that for income under the 12-81l limit, $46,300 single and $56,500 married for the 2026 grand list. OLR’s 2023 survey lists Ellington among the towns offering the 12-81f(a) wartime additional exemption, at $5,000, with income limits at OPM’s state amount; the 12-81f(b) higher amount for veterans and 30-year retirees; the 12-81(21)(C) specially adapted house option; and the 12-81h equipped-vehicle exemption. No Ellington code was found on a readable host, so no adoption could be read; ask the assessor.

Figures

Each figure is dated with the day it was read. A local figure moves whenever the statute or the local ordinance does, so confirm it with the office that grants it before you rely on it. Statute verified gives the day the weekly section check last found the statute standing on the legislature’s own code site; a figure without it rests on a statute the check does not read yet.
