According to the Hartford Business Journal, Connecticut property owners in municipalities undergoing the Oct. 1, 2025 revaluation are being advised to begin preparing now for potential 2026 tax assessment appeals. The updated valuations will determine each property’s tax burden for the next five years, and shifting market conditions may cause certain asset classes to absorb a larger share of the levy. Owners who believe their new assessment exceeds fair market value should compile evidence such as appraisals, comparable sales, income statements, and lease data tied to the Oct. 1 valuation date. Formal appeals to the local Board of Assessment Appeals must be filed by Feb. 20, 2026, and any subsequent Superior Court case involving assessments above $1 million requires an appraisal submission within 120 days of filing.
