The Connecticut Supreme Court will hear arguments Friday about whether a nonprofit group home should pay property taxes or whether its activities are exempt. The case has implications for nonprofits and municipal tax revenue.
Rainbow Housing in Cromwell provides a community based support program for individuals who suffer from severe mental illness. The town decided it should pay property taxes in 2018 when it filed for an exemption, but the trial court agreed with the nonprofit and ordered the town to reinstate the exemption.
