Municipal

Municipal Collections

Fasano, Ippolito, Lee & Florentine presently represents several New Haven County municipalities in tax foreclosure and collection work, as well as sewer and water authority lien foreclosure/collection work.  Our firm has established a collection process that not only achieves full collection for our municipal clients, but in addition, also allows the process of working directly with the particular debtor in an attempt to assist them in the retention of their property rights.

Tax Appeals

Under Connecticut statute, every municipality has the right to establish a value for personal and real property, but also pursuant to Connecticut statute, the property owner has the right and opportunity to appeal the noted assessment. Our firm assists clients in navigating through the strict timelines and mandates established by Connecticut statutes. Furthermore, our attorneys are experienced with appeals to local boards of assessment and even the Superior Court when necessary. We have established relationships with local appraisers and realtors to assist in ensuring our clients are being properly assessed with up-to-date data in accordance with the actual fair market value of your property.
