Connecticut property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Connecticut?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Connecticut adds its own break: Credit up to $300 for property tax on your home or car; full credit if AGI is $49,500 single or $70,500 joint, then phases out.

Also: Homeowners Tax Relief (circuit breaker) for owners 65+ or disabled with 2025 income up to $46,300 single or $56,500 married. Connecticut has no statewide homestead exemption; towns apply the state elderly/disabled credit and may add local programs.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
