Conn. Gen. Stat. § 8-265qq: Assessment increase deferred for rehabilitated properties.

(a) The legislative body of any municipality or part thereof designated as a participating municipality by the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, for purposes of the Urban Rehabilitation Homeownership Program, may, by ordinance, authorize such municipality to enter into a written agreement with any owner of any real property located in such municipality or eligible part thereof who agrees to rehabilitate such real property with assistance provided by the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority under said program. Such agreement shall provide that any increase in assessment attributable to such rehabilitation shall be deferred for a period of five years from the date such rehabilitation is completed.

(b) Any such assessment increase deferral agreement shall provide for (1) the completion of such rehabilitation by a date fixed, (2) the inspection and certification by the local building official that the completed rehabilitation is in conformance with such provisions of the state building and health codes and the local housing code as may apply, and (3) the continued residence of the applicant in such property during the period of said deferral. Said agreement shall further provide that, in the event of a general revaluation by the municipality in the year in which such rehabilitation is completed resulting in any increase in the assessment of such property, only that portion of the increase resulting from such rehabilitation shall be deferred; and in the event of a general revaluation in any year after the year in which such rehabilitation is completed, such deferred assessment shall be increased or decreased in proportion to the increase or decrease in the total assessment on such property as a result of such general revaluation.
