State Rep. Tom Delnicki Supports Permanent Property Tax Relief Proposal
Key Takeaways
- Delnicki pushes recovering lost tax revenue from out-of-state filers.
- Delnicki backs expanding the state property tax credit to aid South Windsor middle-class families.
- Plan targets South Windsor property tax burdens on homeowners, seniors, and working households.
This morning in Hartford, I stood with my House colleagues to highlight what we hear about most from the people we represent: affordability.
Families in South Windsor are feeling the squeeze from every direction—higher property taxes, rising utility bills, grocery costs, and everyday expenses that seem to climb a little more each year. When you work hard, raise a family, and try to plan for the future, Connecticut should make it easier to get ahead, not harder.
That’s why House Republicans are focusing on two practical steps that can bring real relief to taxpayers.
First, we believe Connecticut must do a better job recovering the taxes that are already owed to our state but are currently being lost—particularly to neighboring states like New York. That’s revenue that should be supporting our communities, our schools, and our taxpayers right here at home.
Second, we are proposing to expand eligibility for the state’s property tax credit. Property taxes are one of the biggest financial burdens facing homeowners in South Windsor and across Connecticut. Expanding this credit would allow more middle-class families, seniors, and working households to keep more of their own money.
This is about fairness and common sense. Before asking taxpayers for more, we should make sure we are collecting what is already owed and using those resources to provide meaningful, sustainable relief.
South Windsor families deserve a state government that understands the pressure they are under and works to make Connecticut more affordable to live, work, and raise a family.
