Sweeping Victory for Drew In Tax Reduction Case
The Bridgeport Brass Co case ends with the Supreme Court ruling that Tax Commissioner Connor lacked authority to issue a certificate of error for clerical corrections. The decision voids decades of such abatements, requiring restitution of taxes and limiting future use to clerical mistakes only. The ruling impacts assessment practices and relief board actions across Connecticut, with emphasis on proper statutory limits and municipal accountability.
