Q: What if I think my assessment is too high?

A: Your first appeal should be directed to the Assessor, and then to the Board of Assessment Appeals, a citizen board which meets in February and September. If you are dissatisfied with the Board's decision, you may take your appeal to the Superior Court within 2 months of the Board's action.

Your appearance before the Board is required, but you do not need to hire an attorney. All documentation substantiating your appeal should be presented at that time.

For more information about the appeals process, contact the Assessor's Office at (203) 854-7887 or by FAX at (203) 854-7986. They can explain your appeal rights or if your issue can be resolved by just performing a complete inspection of your property. The deadline to appeal your 2006 grand list assessment was Monday, March 19, 2007.
