The motor vehicle list is generated from the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles based on all vehicles that are registered to the Town of Winchester on October 1st. Any vehicles registered between October 2nd and July 31st will appear on the Supplemental Grand List. Vehicles were previously valued using the JD Power clean retail value which changed effective October 1, 2024. Vehicles will now be valued using the MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) based on the VIN number of the vehicle multiplied by a prescribed depreciation schedule, and then assessed at 70% of that value; this information is provided by DMV or Price Digest which is mandated by the State of Connecticut.
