ASSESSMENT ADMINISTRATION

POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE ASSESSOR'S OFFICE

The Assessor's Office has a responsibility to insure that all assessments are properly and uniformly made and that the Grand List when completed, is a true and accurate report of all taxable and tax exempt property properly coded in the jurisdiction. In order to accomplish this task within the statutory time frame provided, it is essential that the Assessor has certain resources available.

All assessments made by local assessors must be determined in accordance with provisions of the Connecticut General Statutes. The statutes define what property is assessable and the procedure to be followed in determining assessments. With so many phases of the assessment process to be accomplished within a limited time, some schedule of procedure is necessary. The Assessor must keep in mind the provisions of the General Statutes of Connecticut which detail when and how certain phases of assessment procedure must be accomplished. These provisions relate specifically to filing of tax lists, the Assessor's power to obtain information, completion of the abstract and grand list, and issuance of certificates of error and correction.

The Assessor's Office administers many programs and exemptions that are available to the public. Dates and Programs are listed in the Assessor's Calendar.
