In Windsor, as required by Connecticut law, assessments are done based on 70% of the fair market value of all real estate, motor vehicles and business personal property. The revaluation of Windsor real estate to determine fair market value was completed for the October 1, 2008 Grand List. Our next scheduled Real Property revaluation is for October 1, 2013. Motor vehicle values are annually determined though the use of the NADA Guide and business personal property is valued through the use of annual declarations verified by independent audit.

Windsor’s Grand List is comprised of the assessed value of all real estate, motor vehicles and personal property.

The Windsor Town Assessor is available to explain and discuss assessments,reevaluations and options regarding appeals. Please email us at: townassessor@townofwindsorct.com
