West Haven Revaluation Project Update: New Valuation Notices To Be Sent In December

From City of West Haven

WEST HAVEN, CT — The city’s ongoing revaluation project will determine the fair market value of every property for the purpose of a fair and equitable distribution of the tax burden.

Property revaluations are mandated by the state and must occur every five years.

Appraisal staff members from West Haven’s revaluation contractor, Vision Government Solutions Inc. of Hudson, Massachusetts, have been analyzing residential property sales and performing parcel-by-parcel reviews of value.

While valuations will continue through November as new property sales occur, the revaluation date of appraisal is Oct. 1.

Property owners can expect to receive a new value notice in December.

The new property valuations will be available online for the public’s review when notices are mailed. The site will allow inquiry access to the assessor’s database, including value summary, property data and general revaluation information.

Property owners can review their new assessment on Vision’s website here.

Property owners with questions about the revaluation process or the data collected on their property will have an opportunity to meet with a Vision representative to discuss their new valuation through an informal telephone hearing or an in-person hearing from December through early January.

Property owners wishing to appeal their new assessment after the informal hearing process with Vision is complete must file a written appeal to the city’s Board of Assessment Appeals on or before Feb. 20, 2025.

BAA appeal forms will be available online and in the assessor’s office on the first floor of City Hall, 355 Main St.
