The WSA may levy benefit assessments against properties to recover
proportionate shares of the cost of any part of the sewerage system
in accordance with Sections 7-249 through 7-253 of the CGS. In the
event buildings or structures are constructed or expanded after the
initial assessment hereunder, the WSA may assess benefits against
the property as if said buildings or structures had existed at the
time of the initial assessment and may elect to assign such portion
of said funds as represent an accrued assessment from the initial
assessment date for the acquisition or construction of the sewerage
system. The sum of initial and subsequent assessments shall not exceed
the special benefit accruing to the property. No lien securing payment
shall be filed until the property is assessed.
Any residential property owner who is eligible for tax relief as provided by Town Code §§
195-9 and
208-2 may apply to the WSA to pay only the annual interest charge of the benefit assessment levied by the Town. The outstanding balance of principal deferred shall become due upon any transfer of title of the property subject to such assessment or upon death of the property owner. The application shall be subject to annual review by the WSA.
