Connecticut has no statewide property tax cap; Hartford County reassesses properties at market value, typically every 5 years or upon sale, so your tax bill may increase substantially when you purchase. Contact the Hartford County Assessor's office to inquire about the Homestead Exemption (available in some municipalities within the county) and determine your municipality's application deadline. File any exemption application immediately after closing, as deadlines vary by town and missed filings can result in loss of benefits for that tax year.
