Tax shock ahead: Connecticut reassesses town-wide, not on sale — you pay the current bill until Fairfield's next revaluation. If it then values the house at your purchase price, taxes go to $37,260/yr — +$775/mo.

Wetland map units touching the lot
Connecticut defines an inland wetland by its soil, not by standing water (CGS 22a-38), so poorly drained and alluvial soils put the lot under the town's Inland Wetlands commission. That means a permit — and a setback from the regulated area — for a pool, an addition, a new septic field, sometimes even clearing. It is not a reason to walk away; it is a reason to ask what you would be allowed to build before you offer. Source: USDA SSURGO (demo).
