The primary function of the Assessor’s office to compile a grand list annually valuing real estate, personal property and motor vehicles in a fair and equitable manner, while adhering to the requirements set forth in the Connecticut General Statutes.

The duty of the Assessor is to discover, list, and value all property subject to taxation.

Real Estate is reviewed annually for any changes that occur between grand list years and what exists on October 1st.  Revaluation is completed every five (5) years and recalculates value based on current fair market transfers.

Business Personal Property is valued annually based on the filing of the declaration by persons or entities conducting business in the City of Ansonia.

Motor Vehicles are valued annually based on the year, make, and model of the vehicle using the NADA pricing guide.  Connecticut State Statute 12-71c(b) states application for an adjustment must be made no later than the December 31st, which falls 27 months after the assessment year.

The Assessor’s office administers state and local programs of tax relief, apply exemption as permitted by state law, and assist the public with a variety of inquiries.
