Waterbury, the “Brass City,” and the valley towns grew around mills and factories, so much of the housing is a century old or more: multifamily houses on small lots, old heating systems, knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint and tired porches. In Connecticut, property taxes are set town by town, and mill rates in some valley cities are higher than in the surrounding suburbs.
Naugatuck Valley situations we help with
Landlords tired of managing two- and three-family buildings, heirs settling an estate through probate, owners behind on town property taxes, and homeowners facing a Connecticut foreclosure.
Before you sell in Naugatuck Valley
Before you sell, check whether your town property taxes and any sewer or water use charges are current; in Connecticut those are collected locally and can become liens. If the house is a rental, have your leases and security deposit records ready. If it’s an inherited house, ask the probate court whether you need court approval to sell.
