Notices of Assessment Change 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. Shown below is the new
assessment of your property as established by the Assessor and Vision
Government Solutions. Your assessment is
based on 70% of market value. Please note that the P.A. 490 use value for
farm and forest is shown for those in that program, and that these values
reflect the revised state values set in 2025. 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.
Property owners wishing to
have their new assessments reviewed through an informal telephone hearing
with a representative of Vision Government Solutions may do so by scheduling an
appointment online at: www.vgsi.com/schedules and follow the instructions. You
will need the parcel ID number (PID#) at the top of this letter to book your
appointment. If you have more than
two parcels to discuss or do not have access to a computer, please call Vision
Government Solutions at 1-888-844-4300 between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM
Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays. Please book your appointment within 5 days
of receipt of this letter. All
hearings will be conducted via telephone, by appointment only, beginning in November
2025. You may send any written documents supporting your property value by mail
to Vision Government Solutions, 1 Cabot Drive, Ste 100, Hudson MA 01749, or
email to mailbox1@vgsi.com, or fax to 508-351-3797.
Please do not call the Assessor’s Office to schedule
appointments.
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.
