CT HB07225

Municipalities may require nonresident owners and project-based housing providers of rental properties to file current residential addresses with the tax assessor or designated municipal office, with updates required within 21 days of any address change.

For project-based housing providers, address filings must also include identifying information and current residential addresses of each controlling participant, or an individual exercising day-to-day financial or operational control if the participant is an entity.

Service of state or municipal orders relating to property maintenance and code compliance directed to addresses on file constitutes sufficient proof of notice in any subsequent criminal or civil action.

Violations of address filing requirements constitute an infraction.

Municipalities may establish civil penalties by ordinance of up to $500 for a first violation and up to $1,000 for subsequent violations, with appeal rights to Superior Court within 30 days.
