Hello, neighbor!
NEARLY $20M COULD OFFSET TAXES
NEARLY $20M COULD OFFSET TAXES
DEMAND THAT THE COUNCIL USE NEARLY $20M TO OFFSET THIS YEAR’S TAX BURDEN!
As of April 2025, the Council is still in deliberations and is expected to vote on the final budget on June 5th.
This increase will impact both homeowners and renters:
Homeowners would see a significant rise in their monthly property tax bills.
Renters could face higher rents, as landlords will likely pass along the added tax costs.
Follow these steps:

Calculate the Impact
Use this free calculator, created by Hamden residents Edward Lee and Luke Sanford, to calculate your 2025-2026 taxes.
If you’re a homeowner, you’ll see exactly what your new annual tax bill and monthly increase will be.
If you’re a renter, entering your address will show what your landlord is facing in tax increases—and if those costs are significant, they’re likely to be passed on to you.
Understanding this now gives you a chance to prepare and take action before the impact hits your wallet.
