BROOKFIELD, CT — Brookfield homeowners are expected to receive updated property assessment notices this November as the town moves into the final stages of its 2026 property revaluation.
The notices will include each property's new assessment and previous assessed value, giving homeowners an opportunity to review changes before the updated valuations affect tax bills in July 2027.
Brookfield hired Tyler Technologies to conduct the townwide revaluation, which is required under Connecticut law. The town last completed a revaluation for its Oct. 1, 2021 Grand List.
Will Property Taxes Increase?
Not necessarily.
According to the town, revaluation is a revenue-neutral process, meaning it does not automatically increase the total amount of property taxes collected.
However, individual tax bills may rise or fall depending on how a property's assessed value changes relative to other properties in town.
The process includes reviewing property characteristics, analyzing recent real estate sales and determining updated market values.
How To Appeal A New Assessment
Homeowners who believe their updated assessment is inaccurate can request an informal hearing with Tyler Technologies.
Those hearings are scheduled to begin in November 2026.
Property owners who participate in an informal hearing, or whose assessment changes after the initial notice, will receive another notice in January 2027.
Residents who remain dissatisfied can pursue a formal appeal through the Board of Assessment Appeals.
Formal appeals must be received by Feb. 20, 2027, according to the town. Hearings are scheduled for March.
The updated assessments will be used for property tax bills beginning in July 2027.
Residents can contact the Brookfield Assessor's Office for additional information about the revaluation process.
