Municipal revaluation are underway in Connecticut. If you are a property owner in these towns, you will soon receive a letter advising you of your new assessment. The list below is of municipalities currently conducting a town-wide/city-wide revaluation.
Bloomfield, Branford, Brooklyn, Canterbury, Coventry, Hamden, Mansfield, Monroe, New Fairfield, North Branford, North Haven, Old Lyme, Oxford, Pomfret, Prospect, Putnam, Seymour, Torrington, Voluntown, Wallingford, West Haven, and Woodbridge.
We appeal property taxes assessments for national and regional companies and have successfully achieved significant assessment reductions. We are familiar with the various methodologies available in seeking relief as well as other factors that are relevant to assessing officials. Our experience in appealing real property assessments includes successful appeals of hundreds of commercial, industrial, and multifamily residential properties.
As you may know, the statutory deadline to file an application with the Board of Assessment Appeals is February 20th. Some municipalities may seek an extension to publish their grand lists which, in turn, extends the deadline for property owners to file the application to March 20th. Real property owners should note a new deadline was implemented into Connecticut’s overvaluation statute, C.G.S. 12-117a, by the state’s legislature requiring the filing of an appraisal within 120 days after commencing a Superior Court appeal.
