09/01/26 RTM Senior & Disabled Tax Relief Committee

The Town of Fairfield Connecticut's Senior & Disabled Tax Relief Committee held a special meeting on September 1, 2026, to discuss and approve modifications to the senior and disabled tax relief program. The committee reviewed proposed increases to the tax credit caps across various income tiers, with increases ranging from 15% to 20%, and an increase in the qualifying total asset value (QTAV) from $675,000 to $800,000. The estimated impact on tax revenue was discussed, with a consensus that the changes would reduce tax revenue by approximately $111,000 but would be sustainable within the overall budget. The committee unanimously approved the proposed modifications, which are expected to provide enhanced tax relief benefits to eligible seniors and disabled residents without significantly affecting the town's budget.
