Quadrennial Tax Exempt Organization Report

Non-profit organizations that are organized for charitable, educational, scientific, horticultural or literary purposes and own real or personal property used “exclusively” for those purposes, or for cemetery purposes, are required to file a report with the assessor once every four years by November 1 or if such day is a Saturday or Sunday, on the next business day.

The report form is enclosed and has a question-and-answer page at the back of it.

There is also a report of leased, borrowed, or consigned personal property, which you are requested to file along with the tax exempt report.  This report is usually included with a personal property declaration.  You are not being asked to file a personal property declaration.

 If an extension is needed to file, a written request must be made to the assessor.  The request should be accompanied by a check for $35.00, payable to the Town of Farmington.  The assessor may grant an extension to no later than December 30, 2025. 

 The report requirement is governed by Connecticut General Statutes (CGS)12-81(7)(10) and (11) and the extension is governed by CGS  12-87a.  They can both be found here: https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_203.htm.

 Reports, supplemental materials and extension requests, if needed, should be mailed to the Town of Farmington, Assessor’s Office, 1 Monteith Drive, Farmington CT 06032.

 If you have any questions, you may call or send me an e-mail at gardnerd@farmington-ct.org.
