The Board of Assessment Appeals holds hearings to hear appeals related to assessment of real property, personal property and motor vehicles. The board schedules formal hearings during the month of March (April if there is a filing extension) to hear appeals related to the assessment of real property, personal property and supplemental motor vehicles. The board schedules one meeting in the month of September for the sole purpose of hearing appeals related to the assessment of motor vehicles.
To appeal an assessment for real estate, personal property or a supplemental motor vehicle for the March hearings, the taxpayer must submit a completed appeal application to the Board of Assessment Appeals on or before February 20th. Failure to file a written request on a timely basis waives the right of the taxpayer to appear before the Board. To file an appeal for a motor vehicle assessment (other than supplemental) no application is required. The September appeal hearings are on a first come first serve basis.
The BAA then sets its hearing dates for the month of March and notifies the taxpayer of the time and place of the hearing. The Board’s duties will be completed by the last business day of the month. Written notice of the Board’s final determination of each appeal will be mailed to the taxpayer within one week of the decision.
Per Connecticut General Statute Sec. 12-112. No appeal from the doings of the assessors in any town shall be heard or entertained by the Board of Assessment Appeals unless referred to it at one of its meetings during the month of September in the case of an appeal related to motor vehicle assessment, or unless written appeal is made on or before February twentieth in accordance with the provisions of section 12-111.
