 The Town Assessor's Office, headed by Ted Gwartney, is responsible for the equitable valuation of all real and personal property in accordance with Connecticut State Statutes at 70 percent of market value for the annual production of the Grand List. It also administers property tax exemptions within the Town.
Obtaining Information on a Property:
The assessor's office has public access computer terminals in the office for public use. The information includes various details about the parcel ID number, size, type, year built, ownership, latest assessment and legal description. If you need information on a particular property you may call the Assessors' Office (203) 622-7885. Information provided by phone may be limited so that we may keep the phone lines available to others.
The general public, government agencies, elected officials, the media and firms involved with appraisal, property insurance, title insurance, law, business and education are served by the assessor's office and make use of the property database.
The Assessor's Office is dedicated to the continual improvement of the quality of assessment information and to being responsive to the taxpayers of Greenwich.
Assessment Change Notice:
All property is assessed as of October 1st each year. Assessment change notices are sent out within ten days of the Assessor's signing of the Grand List (typically by January 31st each year) for properties that undergo change in use, splits, merges, new construction, demolition or revaluation. We plan to distribute the 2007 revaluation notices in January 2008.
Copies of Grand List Books for 2007 will be available in February 2008 in hard copy for $30.00 or on a CD ROM for purchase in the Assessor's Office at Town Hall for $30.
Site Maps:
Site maps are available for $2.00 per page. You must provide a return addressed stamped 8½ x 11" envelope with your request. They are also available at the Assessor's Office, Town Hall, first floor.
Field Cards:
Requests for copies of field cards should be addressed to the assessor's office and must include $1.00 per field card and a self-addressed, stamped envelope (see Real Estate or Personal Property).
Other Sources of Real Estate Data:
Information on zoning related matters are best addressed through the Planning and Zoning Department. Information on taxes due may be obtained through the Tax Collector's Office. The most recent sale transactions recorded may be obtained through the Clerk's Office as the Assessor's Office records may be a few weeks behind.
Income and Expense Reports:
All owners of properties which are rented in whole or in part, including (but not limited to) residential properties containing five or more units, office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use properties, must file the Income and Expense Report (see Income and Expense Reports).
How to correct an error on my property?
Call the Assessor's Office and provide them with your name, phone number and the nature of the error. The appraiser assigned to your neighborhood will follow up on the request by calling you and if necessary, setting up a date and time for an inspection of the property to correct the record.
What is a mill rate?
In Connecticut, property tax rates are expressed in Mills, or thousandths of a dollar. A property tax rate of 7.763 mills (2006 mill rate), .007763 expressed in decimal form, or .00763 expressed as a percent of assessed value, results in the payment of $7.763 for each $1,000 of the properties assessed value. The Board of Estimate and Taxation sets the mill rate in May of every year in time for the July tax billing.
