HB 5063 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT REDUCING THE SALES AND USE TAXES RATE APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING MATERIALS.

HB 5063 reduces the sales and use tax rate for construction and building materials used in housing to 2%. This directly affects builders, contractors, and homeowners involved in new home construction or housing rehabilitation projects. The bill amends tax code to lower the rate from its current level specifically for materials stored, used, or consumed in housing projects. It does not change tax rates for other materials or non-housing construction.
