Tax Help Available For Covid-Impacted Homeowners: West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — West Hartford officials are hoping homeowners impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic benefit from a state program that could provide financial help with their taxes.

Town officials Thursday issued a bulletin about the MyHomeCT program, which offers eligible homeowners with a COVID-related financial hardship a one-time payment, up to 12 months of forward payments or a combination of both for real estate property taxes.

The allocation will be up to $50,000 per eligible Connecticut resident assisting with property taxes starting with the Oct. 1, 2018 grand list.

Distribution of the funds would be made to the municipality regarding tax payment on behalf of eligible resident, wrote town officials
