As your Town property assessor, I am sensitive to concerns that you may have at this time regarding local property values. According to Connecticut State law, property is reappraised by my office just once every 5 years. Our last revaluation was for October 2005. At that time the market was studied, valuation tables were formulated based upon current sales, and values were assigned to individual properties based upon those tables. The tables and pricing criteria set in 2005 must stay in place for 5 years unless a mistake needs to be corrected or changes are made to a property. It does not matter if the real estate market increases or decreases during those 5 years. Our next revaluations is scheduled for October 2010. At that time property values will be adjusted to reflect current market condition. I hope that this answers some of your questions. I am always available if you would like to contact me, Barbara Bigos.
