Commercial and Residential Real Estate Property Tax Assessment Alert

By: Katherine Macol, Esq.

Notices of preliminary real property tax assessments are being sent by the following Connecticut  municipalities:  Ashford, Beacon Falls, Bridgeport, Clinton, Colebrook, Deep River, Durham, East Hampton, Derby, Ellington, Fairfield, Greenwich, Haddam, Hartland, Ledyard, Marlborough, Meriden, Middlebury, Milford, Newington, New Milford, North Stonington, Plymouth, Salisbury, Shelton, Somers, Southington, Stafford, Thomaston, Trumbull and Westport.  

Since these commercial and residential real estate revaluations will determine tax assessments for the next five years, it is critical that taxpayers review their preliminary property tax assessments immediately as the deadline to apply to the local city or town Board of Assessment Appeals is February 20, 2026.  Once an appeal with the Board of Assessment Appeals is filed, a hearing is typically scheduled in March or April.  If you are unsatisfied with the decision of the Board of Assessment Appeals, an appeal can then be taken to the Connecticut Superior Court.

Failure to act in a timely manner will impact your ability to appeal your real property tax assessment. The time to act is now.  Please call Willinger, Willinger & Bucci PLLC  to schedule an appointment with one of our Connecticut tax appeal attorneys to evaluate your options to achieve potential tax savings.
