SAMPLE NOTICE OF REVISED ASSESSMENT CHANGE
In accordance with
Connecticut General Statutes, the Town of Canton has completed a Revaluation of
all real property for the October 1, 2023 Grand List. Pursuant to section 12-55
of the Connecticut General Statutes, shown below is the revised assessment of
your property as established by the Assessor and Vision Government
Solutions.
This second notice informs
you that, as part of the hearing and review process, your assessment has been
reviewed. Your assessment has either been reduced, increased, or has had no
change made. Most property owners receiving this notice have attended a hearing
or requested a review of their property in writing. Some property owners who
did not attend a hearing or request a review in writing have been sent this
notice to inform them that, upon review, and information provided, their
assessment has been revised.
Your assessment represents
70% of October 1, 2023 market value unless it is classified in whole or in part
under P.A.490 as open space, farm or forest land. Other exemptions to assessments (for example:
Veteran’s exemptions) are not shown as part of this notice but will be applied
to the final assessments.
Do not apply the current tax (mill) rate
to your new assessment, as doing so will result in an inaccurate calculation.
The
new mill rate will be determined by the Town in May of 2024.
You may review your new
assessment on the Vision Government Solutions web site: www.vgsi.com. This site will allow
inquiry access to the Assessor’s database, including value summary, property
data, and general revaluation information.
If you wish to appeal your
assessment after receiving your result letter from the informal hearing you
must file a written application with the Board of Assessment Appeals on or
before February 20, 2024. The
applications will be available in the Assessor’s Office.
