An Act Concerning a Program to Provide Property Tax Relief for Commercial Businesses Public Act 14-174 (CGS Section 12-63i) provides a municipal ordinance for the assessment of property used for commercial businesses.  The legislation allows a municipality to offer businesses an alternative assessment method based on a business’s net profits instead of a property’s assessed value.  This Public Act also requires the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management to “…establish a pilot program for not more than five municipalities of varying sizes and in different regions of the state to allow for the assessment of a commercial property based on the net profits of the business or businesses occupying such property.”
