Tax Exempt Applications (Quadrennial Tax Exempt)

Tax Exempt / Nonprofit Organization Information

Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 12-81 (7),(10), (11), and (16) require the filing of a Tax Exempt Return from any organization seeking property tax exempt status from the municipality.  This also requires a quadrennial filing from the initial application assessment year.  Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 12-87 requires exempt organizations to report any additional property acquired since the filing of the initial application or the last previous quadrennial report on a supplemental tax return.

Organizations initially requesting a property tax exemption during the interim years should check the box labeled INITIAL APPLICATION.  The quadrennial filing period will remain the same when filing in an interim year.

Application Filing Deadline is NOVEMBER 1st.

Extension

Upon written request, the Assessor may grant a 60-day extension to the filing deadline.  In the event an extension is granted, a late fee of $35 must be paid to the Town of Easton.

Who Should File

Any organization seeking an exemption from municipal taxes.

How to File

Requirements for Exemption

Section 12-89 of the C.G.S. gives determination of the exemption status of real or personal property to the Assessor.  An organization claiming exemption must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Assessor that they meet the requirements for an exemption.
