Blind Exemption

Blind individuals who have been certified by the State of Connecticut as legally blind are eligible for a $3000 assessment exemption, example:  $3,000 X .04714 (applicable mill rate) = $141.42 tax savings. Applicants must provide a completed copy of their Certification of Legal Blindness from the State of Connecticut before the Grand List is signed, January 31st, in order to receive the exemption on that Grand List. This certificate needs to be submitted only once in order to enjoy this benefit for the rest of the applicant's lifetime.
