Appeals

According to Connecticut State Statute §12-111, for an appeal to be considered, a written application must be submitted to the Assessors on or before February 20th (postmarks are not accepted). Whenever February 20th falls on a weekend or holiday the due date is the previous business day. 

However, the Board of Assessment Appeals may decide not to hear an appeal "...for any commercial, industrial, utility or apartment property with an assessed value greater than $1,000,000". Once all the applications are submitted, the owner (or appointed agent) will be notified of the date and time of the hearing.
