CT SB00468

Owners of residential buildings with defective concrete foundations can provide a professional engineer's written evaluation to their assessor and request a reassessment that reflects the building's current reduced value.

The assessor must complete the inspection and adjustment within 90 days of receiving the evaluation or before the next assessment year begins, whichever is earlier.

The reassessment remains in effect until the owner notifies the assessor in writing that the foundation has been repaired or replaced, at which point the assessor must adjust the assessment again within 90 days.

Starting January 1, 2021, operators of all Connecticut quarries producing aggregate for concrete must annually submit a geological source report to the State Geologist that includes operations plans, aggregate characteristics, inspection results, and core sample analysis completed by a qualified geologist.

Quarries with a satisfactory performance history as determined by the State Geologist may be exempt from submitting core sample analysis in their reports.
