Why some Watertown owners sell for cash
Water and sewer costs are a live issue. The Water and Sewer Authority serves about 4,300 customers, and after a court ruling over payments to Waterbury, voters in September 2025 approved up to $30 million in bonds. The town estimated that would add about $295 a year to the average customer's bill.
On top of that, property tax runs at 30.04 mills. A house near the median pays about $7,570 a year, around $630 a month. Watertown revalued in 2023 and the next one is October 1, 2028.
For landlords in the villages, we buy two-families with the tenants and leases in place.
Behind on payments or taxes
Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in Watertown?
A Watertown bill of about $7,570 a year, plus rising water and sewer charges in the villages, adds up fast once it slips. Overdue Connecticut property tax adds 1.5% a month, 18% a year, and the town can lien the house.
If the mortgage is behind as well, Connecticut mostly uses strict foreclosure, with the Superior Court setting a Law Day. A cash sale before then pays off the lender and the town at closing, and the rest is yours.
