The Brien McMahon Federal Building, the Federal Courthouse in Bridgeport, Conn. May 2, 2017,
Spend time talking to any mayor in Connecticut and chances are it won’t be long before complaints about PILOT come up. PILOT stands for Payment in Lieu of Taxes, and it’s a system that has cities eternally playing catch-up as they look to fund themselves.
Connecticut’s cities don’t function as the center of civic life as they might have in an earlier generation, but they still provide many services not available in outlying communities. That can mean hospitals, federal buildings, universities or nonprofit providers, all of which fall in the same category, and none of which are taxed the way businesses are, even as they often occupy valuable city-center properties.
