CT residents - wondering what your experience is with property tax assessments. When I lived in New Haven my 87 911 was always assessed at the state's $500 cap on older/special interest vehicles (see link below) I moved to Guilford and they are giving me a hard time claiming the car does not have "historical interest". Wondering what your experience is in your town.
I did not want the special classic plates because they seemed showy but now I'm wondering if having them would have given me more to base my claim on:
To qualify, a vehicle must meet the statutory criteria required for an antique, rare, or special interest vehicle license plate issued by the DMV. Those criteria are that the vehicle (1) be at least 20 years old, (2) be preserved because of historical interest, and (3) not be modified from the original manufacturer's specifications (CGS § 14-1(2)).
