Are there any breaks for senior citizens?

Yes!  If you or your spouse are age 65 or older, permanently reside in Torrington (legal residence), either own your home or rent, and meet certain income restrictions, you may be eligible for one or more forms of city or state-financed property tax credits. To inquire about eligibility or for information regarding the homeowners program, contact the Assessor’s Office at 860.489.2222. For information regarding the renters program, please contact the Sullivan Senior Center at 860.489.2211.
