Please remember that any revaluation is a "snapshot in time" to ensure that all residents are paying their fair share of taxes. It is an equalization process during which each property is valued at its fair market value (by statute) at a point in time to determine each taxpayer's portion of the budget.

Property Revaluation
Connecticut General Statutes require that revaluations be done every five years. Physical inspections must be done every ten years. New Hartford conducted a statistical Revaluation for the 2003 Grand List and has just completed a full physical revaluation for the October 1, 2008 Grand List.
