Ellington, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 138 § 138-2 requires nonresident owners of rental property in Ellington to keep a current residential address on file with the Ellington Tax Assessor's office. If the owner is an individual, that person's own address must be filed; if the owner is a corporation, partnership, trust, or similar entity, the address of the agent in charge must be filed instead. Any address change must be reported within 21 days, and if no address is filed at all, the town defaults to the address used for mailing property tax bills.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 138-2, nonresident rental property owners and their agents generally keep an up-to-date residential address on file with the Ellington Tax Assessor at all times. Compliant operators track any address changes and submit updated information to the Tax Assessor's office within the 21-day window the provision establishes. Entities such as corporations or partnerships typically designate a responsible agent whose residential address satisfies the filing requirement.

Section 138-2 establishes a public-record mechanism that can help tenants and the Town of Ellington identify and contact the owner or responsible agent for a rental property. If a nonresident owner has not filed a current address as required, the town treats the property tax billing address as the owner's address of record. Tenants who have difficulty reaching a nonresident owner may find it useful to check with the Ellington Tax Assessor's office or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on how this provision intersects with other rights.
