The objective of property assessment is that each property owner bears his appropriate share of the tax burden. To meet this objective, the assessment staff discovers, lists and values, according to Connecticut statutes, real estate, business personal property and motor vehicles as of October 1 each year. This list of property established on October 1st of each year becomes taxable for the fiscal year beginning on July 1st of the following year.

The staff also provides data to a wide variety of internal and external customers and administers State programs for tax relief for homeowners, veterans and totally disabled persons who meet certain requirements.

Assessor: Joseph Dakers, Sr., CCMA II
