The Westport Assessor’s office today released an updated version of the “model” being used to determine values in the 2003 property assessment.
The document contains technical changes to the version released earlier this week, according to Deputy Assessor Kevin Murowsky.
He said they include adding a breakdown of “style” variations that the assessors use in making their assessment.
The three-page schedule, available here as a PDF document, essentially is a roadmap that appraisers use in making judgments about properties, taking into account such variables as age, location, and property features.
Murowsky said he anticipated a revised 2003 property assessment list to be completed over the weekend.
It will reflect changes made as a result of interviews with residents as well as a spot review of whole streets and neighborhoods around town, according to First Selectwoman Diane Goss Farrell.
Thr touble with the roadmap is that it lacks a map legend that would let a lay person understand it!
