Description
    The Assessor’s Office has the large responsibility of assessing every taxable and exempt property located in the City of Danbury and compiling these assessments into a list. Included in the list is real estate, business personal property and registered motor vehicles. This department answers to the State of Connecticut and to the City. The Division is committed to accurately serving and representing every resident within the City.

    The Assessor’s main objective is to help the public to whatever exemptions and benefits they are entitled to and to assist taxpayers in understanding their assessment of their properties. Many professionals need information from our office on a daily basis for issues such as map numbers, deed numbers and current assessments to conduct their business. These professionals would include appraisers, surveyors and title searchers. The Assessor’s Office also makes house calls for any senior who cannot get to City Hall.

    The Division receives results from property revaluations every five years. The City recently completed a revaluation for the October 1, 2007 Grand List.

    The Division also provides several programs available to our seniors and veterans to help reduce their property tax. The filing period for our senior programs is from February 1^st through May 15^th and the filing period for our veteran programs is from February 1^st through October 1^st each year.
