The physical location, at 27 Main Street in Salisbury, is in the corner, to the right of the first floor entrance. The Assessor is a town employee, professionally educated, state certified and responsible for the appraisal of all real estate, motor vehicles and certain types of personal property as required by Connecticut State Law. The money needed to operate the town, including the public school, road maintenance, recreation, police and other services, comes primarily from property taxes. Individual tax bills are the property assessment (70% of value) multiplied by the mill rate. The mill rate is determined each year by dividing the budget needed to operate the town by the taxable grand list. Each and every property must be properly assessed so that taxes are apportioned fairly. Every five years the Assessor is required to revaluate all property and prepare an updated grand list (a total assessment of all listed properties) upon which the taxes are based.

Once you receive your notice, if you have questions, you must reach out to eQuality directly to set up a phone hearing. This information and instructions will be included in the Assessment notice. After hearings are complete, new notices will be issued where applicable. Applications to the Board of Assessment Appeals will be available on the town website once the Grand List is completed.
