Bridgeport, Conn., Mun. Code §§ 15.12, 15.28 § 15.12.360
Rooming houses and hotels—Reports to the tax assessor (Bridgeport Housing Code)
Operative Text
To aid the tax assessor in the performance of his duty in the assessment of taxable property, the housing code enforcement officer, not later than October 15th of each year, shall send to the tax assessor a list of all rooming house, class I, rooming house, class II, and hotel licenses in effect on the first day of October of each year showing the name and address of the licensee, the location of the licensed premises and the number of rooms devoted to rooming house purposes.
Section 15.12.360 of the Bridgeport Municipal Code establishes an annual information-sharing requirement between two city offices. Each year, no later than October 15th, the housing code enforcement officer must compile and transmit to the tax assessor a list of all active rooming house (Class I and Class II) and hotel licenses as of October 1st. That list must include each licensee's name and address, the location of the licensed premises, and the count of rooms used for rooming house purposes. The provision is designed to support accurate property tax assessment by ensuring the assessor has current licensing data.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rooming houses and hotels in Bridgeport should be aware that, under § 15.12.360, their active license information—including their name, property address, and room count—is shared with the tax assessor each October. Compliant operators generally keep their licensing records current and accurate with the housing code enforcement office, since that data feeds directly into the assessor's records. Discrepancies between a license on file and actual operations could surface through this annual reporting process.

Section 15.12.360 is primarily an administrative coordination rule between city offices rather than a provision that directly grants tenant rights. However, tenants living in rooming houses or hotels in Bridgeport may find this provision relevant as evidence of whether a property holds a valid, active license—information that could be relevant when raising habitability or licensing concerns with local authorities. Tenants who have questions about a property's licensing status may contact the Bridgeport housing code enforcement office or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on how licensing records relate to their situation.
