2024 Revaluation

The Town of Willington contracted with Municipal Valuation Services LLC (Munival) of Fairfield, CT to conduct the state mandated revaluation project for the 10/1/2024 Grand List.  The process started in the spring of 2024 with the mailing of data mailers to property owners.  Property inspections and data verification was conducted by phone, email and in-person from June - September 2024.  As part of this process, Municapal Valuation Services had data collection personnel assigned throughout the Town of Willington taking exterior photos, inspecting, and measuring the exterior and listing interior features of residential and commercial properties.  Notices of the new assessments were mailed December 20, 2024.  Informal hearings are being held in January 2025 by appointment only.  All appointments will result in a decision letter that may revise the assessment.  These revised assessments will be reflected in the Grand List signed by the Assessor on January 31, 2025. Taxpayers will have the opportunity to appeal their assessment to the Board of Assessment Appeals if an appeal form is filed no later than 4 pm on February 20, 2025.
