West Haven has created a Real Property Tax Incentive Policy to encourage growing businesses to relocate here. Under the policy, the city may freeze real property tax assessments on eligible properties for a certain period and then phase in, over another certain period, the increased real property tax assessments on those properties, based on the improvements that property owners intend to make to them and the number of jobs those improvements will create or otherwise make possible. For details or to discuss a project’s potential eligibility, contact Director Steve Fontana or project manager Kathleen Krolak of the Office of Economic Development.
