CT SB00274

Municipalities with 25,000+ population must require nonresident landlords, project-based housing providers, and property agents to register their current residential address and identifying information (name, date of birth, driver's license number) with the tax assessor; smaller municipalities may opt in

Corporate, partnership, or trust property owners must also report identifying information and residential addresses for all controlling participants who exercise day-to-day financial or operational control

Address changes must be reported within 21 days; failure to register allows municipalities to use the property tax mailing address for service of code compliance orders

First-offense State Building Code violations carry fines of $200-$1,000 and/or up to 6 months imprisonment; subsequent offenses increase to $500-$2,000 fines

First-offense State Fire Prevention Code or Fire Safety Code violations carry fines of $200-$1,000 and/or up to 6 months imprisonment; subsequent offenses carry $500-$1,000 fines
