The Assessor’s Office of the Town of Greenwich has begun the revaluation for the October 1, 2025 Grand List. The benefit of completing frequent revaluations is to keep assessments fair and equitable. As required by state law, each assessment should reflect 70% of the fair market value as of October 1, 2025.
Each property owner will receive a notice of assessment change sometime in November 2025.
Informal hearings will be available for all taxpayers to discuss their new assessment with the revaluation companies. Informal hearings with the revaluation company will be held between mid-November 2025 to mid-January 2026. At the informal hearing, it is an appropriate time in which to review the information used to determine your assessment as well as discuss with the revaluation company any questions or concerns about the new assessments and the Assessor’s Office urges anyone to schedule an informal hearing with these companies.
In addition to the informal hearings, property owners who disagree with their assessments also have the opportunity to file an appeal of their assessment to the Board of Assessment Appeals [BAA] between February 1 and no later than February 20 of 2026. BAA hearings will take place during March of 2026. If the Assessor’s Office utilizes a one-month extension, all deadlines to the BAA will be extended one month. If the taxpayer is not satisfied with the BAA’s decision, there is an additional opportunity to appeal to the Superior Court in Stamford pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 12-117a.
All municipalities in Connecticut conduct a revaluation of property every five years. The last revaluation Greenwich completed was for the 2021 Grand List. The revaluation was originally to have taken place in 2020, however, because of COVID-19 restrictions, the Office of Policy and Management in Hartford granted Greenwich an extension to complete the required revaluation in 2021.
The Town will be assisted in the revaluation process by J.F. Ryan & Associates. The new assessments reflect the value of the property as of October 1, 2025. This new assessment will be reflected on the July 1, 2026 tax bill which is due by August 1, 2026. The second half of the FY 26-27, tax bill will be sent by January 1, 2027, due February 1, 2027.
