General Information and Links

The Assessor’s primary objective is to ensure that all taxable property located within a town is assessed in accordance with applicable law so that every property owner shares an appropriate share of the total property tax burden. To accomplish this objective, the assessor must discover, list and equitably value all property within their jurisdictions. In addition, the assessor is responsible for reviewing and approving various forms of property tax relief and land classification, maintaining current data for each type of property as well as submitting reports to the State of Connecticut’s Office of Policy & Management, duties are performed in accordance to CT general statues following a calendar of state administered deadlines.
