Connecticut REALTORS® (CTR) appreciates the opportunity to submit testimony supporting SB 169, AN ACT CONCERNING A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING POLICIES IN THE STATE in the Housing Committee. CTR represents more than 19,000 members involved in all aspects of real estate in Connecticut. Our members work with many thousands of buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants annually. SB 169, AN ACT CONCERNING A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING POLICIES IN THE STATE creates a study regarding the effects of affordable housing policies in the state. Specifically, it requires the Commissioner of Housing to conduct a study of the affordable housing policies, as set forth in section 8-30g of the general statutes, and the effects of such policies in the state. The study is required to identify any recommendations and report them to the General Assembly by January 1, 2023. CTR believes it's very important to review any policies or programs over time in an effort to identify options for improved efficiency, evaluate emerging opportunities and serve the public more effectively.

Connecticut REALTORS® (CTR) submits this testimony in OPPOSITION of SB 21, AN ACT ESTABLISHING A STATE-WIDE PROPERTY TAX ON CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL REAL PROPERTY. SB 21 establishes a statewide property tax at the rate of 2 mills on residential real property with an assessed value of greater than one million two hundred thousand dollars. The proposal plans to dedicate such revenue to fund excess cost grants under subsection (b) of section 10-76g of the general statutes and settlement costs of the Sheff v. O'Neill lawsuit. CTR strongly opposes this legislation and any statewide property tax proposal for any purpose. Property owners already shoulder the burden of municipal costs. In high-cost areas, residents are often priced out of their homes that have increased in value over time because they can no longer afford the property taxes. The state should not make homes in Connecticut even less affordable than they already are by placing new tax burdens on property owners. View the full testimony.
