Notices of assessment following informal hearings have been mailed to property owners. A copy of the instructions-portion of the notice is below:
In accordance with
Connecticut General Statutes, the Town of Wolcott has completed a Revaluation
of all real property for the October 1, 2025 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, 2025 market value unless it is classified in whole or in part
under P.A.490 as 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 the spring of 2026.
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, 2026. The
applications will be available in the Assessor’s Office.
