The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6527, seeks to amend section 12-57 of the general statutes to allow municipal assessors the authority to issue certificates of correction for tangible personal property that has been assessed in error. Currently, there may be limitations on when these certificates can be issued, but the new language will enable assessors to correct such errors at any time after the tax due date for the property in question.

The primary purpose of this legislation is to streamline the process for correcting assessment errors, thereby providing greater flexibility for municipal assessors. This change aims to ensure that property assessments are accurate and fair, ultimately benefiting both the municipalities and property owners by allowing for timely corrections without being constrained by the previous deadlines.
