| Size of Award | Connecticut has revised their regulations related to renewable property tax exemptions with the passage of HB 7432 in 2007. Now Class I renewable energy source and hydropower facilities installed for the generation of electricity for private residential use, defined as use for a single family dwelling or multifamily dwelling consisting of 2-4 units, will receive a property tax exemption if the facility is built on or after October 1, 2007. Also, any solar water or pace heating system or geothermal energy resource is also exempt from property taxes, regardless of the building type – nonresidential buildings qualify. Prior to HB 7432, there are a statute that authorized municipalities, but did not require them to offer a property tax exemption for certain renewable energy systems including CHP installed between July 1, 1981 and October 1, 2006. |
