Westport First Selectwoman Diane Goss Farrell told today’s brown bag lunch she estimates as many as 1,000 notices regarding property assessments might go out next week as a result of a review of the 2003 assessments. But she left unclear how many might indicate changes. “Everyone who raised a question will get a notice,” she said, adding,“They’re not cherry picking—they are looking at whole streets all over town.” She said a revised assessment list will be published identifying properties where assessments have changed.

Today, 2/25/04, I checked my property card and found that the assessed value of my “building” had dropped 6.2% from 1/21/04, but the land assessment—which is where the problem was—is unchanged. And I never bothered going for an informal appeal. This is getting “curiouser and curiouser!”
It apparently pays to check your property card from time to time.Some days your assessment may be lower, other days it could be higher!
