Services
How They Can Help
J DiMauro Law handles property tax appeals before town boards of assessment appeals, including the preparation of comparable sales analysis and coordination with appraisers where formal valuation evidence is needed. The firm represents property owners at board hearings and, where necessary, pursues Superior Court appeals when administrative remedies haven't produced a fair result. Beyond standard assessment appeals, the elder law background makes the firm especially useful for senior homeowners. Connecticut offers several programs for elderly and disabled owners that can significantly reduce tax liability, including circuit breaker programs and local elderly exemptions. The firm helps clients determine eligibility, complete applications, and appeal denials if necessary. For clients with estate planning needs alongside property tax concerns, there's real value in working with one attorney who understands how property ownership structures, trusts, and life estates interact with assessment and tax obligations. J DiMauro Law handles wills, trusts, and probate matters, so if a property is held in a trust or passing through an estate, the firm can manage the full picture.
What to Expect
J DiMauro Law starts with a consultation to understand your situation, whether it's a straightforward assessment appeal or something more layered involving elder benefits, a trust, or a recent property transfer. For a standard residential appeal, the firm reviews your assessment, researches comparable sales, and evaluates whether the numbers support a challenge. Filing with the town's board of assessment appeals happens before Connecticut's February deadline, and the firm handles all hearing representation. For senior clients, the process also includes reviewing eligibility for tax relief programs that run on separate application deadlines and don't require an appeal at all, just a properly submitted application. If a board hearing doesn't resolve the matter fairly, the firm advises on court appeal options and is direct about whether the potential savings justify additional legal action. Communication throughout is clear and personal, consistent with the firm's small-practice approach.
