Connecticut / State / 2026 Regular Session
Public Act 26-114, sections 8 and 17 to 21 Accepts proof of any qualifying discharge for veterans’ exemptions and moves retroactive claims to the assessor
Lets the proof of service show any discharge that qualifies rather than only an honorable one, extends the Second World War allied service exemption to general discharges and similar characterizations, makes the assessor rather than the tax collector receive proof for retroactive disability-based claims, and specifies which grand lists a town compares when raising exemption amounts after a revaluation. Generally effective October 1, 2026 and applicable to assessment years from then.
