CT HB06953

Requires tax collectors to include information on state aid to municipalities with property tax bills, showing how much state assistance reduces the effective mill rate for taxpayers.

Mandates that tax bills display the percentage and dollar amount of taxes attributable to general government budgeted expenditures and board of education budgeted expenditures, with these two categories totaling 100 percent of the bill.

Allows municipalities to send tax bills and statements electronically if taxpayers consent in writing, provided the community posts an email address on its website and ensures proper delivery procedures.

Requires towns with a board of finance to publish budget reports showing the percentage, dollar amount, and estimated mill rate for both general government and board of education expenditures at least two weeks before the annual town meeting.

Requires towns without a board of finance to publish similar bifurcated budget information in newspapers at least two weeks before budget adoption.
