Background & Context

3 stories

3.1

When and how to appeal a property tax assessment.

Most CT jurisdictions allow appeals in a narrow annual window after assessments mail. The strongest appeals lead with three comparable sales from within 6 months and a half-mile radius, and explicitly address why the subject differs from the assessor's comp set — typically condition, location, or improvements that were over-counted.

Why It Matters

Successful appeals reduce the assessed value for the appeal year and often reset the baseline for future years. Even a 10% reduction compounds over a decade of ownership.

3.2

The HOA documents that matter when buying a condo.

Beyond the standard CC&Rs, four documents predict future assessment risk: the reserve study (is the association underfunded?), the most recent two annual budgets, the delinquency report (what % of owners are behind?), and any pending litigation. A reserve-study funding ratio below 30% is a yellow flag; below 10% is red.

Why It Matters

Special assessments in underfunded associations routinely run $10K-$50K per unit and arrive with little notice. The reserve study is a legally required disclosure in most states — but most buyers never ask for it.

3.3

How redemption rights vary by state — and why buyers should care.

Some CT jurisdictions give the foreclosed owner a statutory right to redeem the property within a window after the sale (often 6-12 months). Buyers at foreclosure auctions in those jurisdictions take title subject to redemption — meaning the prior owner can reclaim the property by paying the auction price plus interest. Title insurance does not cover this exposure.

Why It Matters

A redeemed property is returned to the prior owner, not refunded with the original purchase price plus appreciation. Auction buyers in redemption-rights states need to hold capital reserves for the entire window.
