Supreme Court of Connecticut
777 Residential, LLC v. Metropolitan District Commission
September 4, 2020336 Conn. 819
Summary
The court held that converting an existing commercial building into 285 residential units constituted construction of structures under § 7-249, authorizing a supplemental sewer benefit assessment. It also held that the statute did not require the authority to use the same calculation method for the supplemental assessment as for the initial assessment, so long as the method was authorized under the rules applicable at the time of the initial assessment and the total assessments did not exceed the property's special benefit. The judgment was reversed in part and remanded for further proceedings on any remaining claims.
