Ridgefield Veterans’ Property Tax Exemptions

The assessor’s page describes the office’s work and its elderly programs and prints no veterans’ amounts; it invites questions about tax exemptions by phone. 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. OLR’s 2023 survey records Ridgefield among the towns offering the 12-81f(a) wartime additional exemption, at $10,000, with income limits of $50,000 married and $45,000 single - a limit of the town’s own, above OPM’s state amount; the 12-81f(b) higher amount for veterans and 30-year retirees; the 12-81g(b) option, three times the 12-81(20) exemption for a veteran rated 100 percent with income of $21,000 single or $24,000 married; and the 12-81kk primary-residence exemption, 10 percent of the assessed value of the dwelling of a veteran with federal adjusted gross income of $50,100 or less. OLR notes it could not verify every answer; the town’s code is on eCode360 (RI2176), which stayed behind its Cloudflare challenge (dubiousenvelope/vettoc issue 168), so no adoption could be read.
