From the Town of East Haven:

EAST HAVEN, CT — In accordance with state statute, the Town of East Haven has begun its next townwide real property revaluation for the October 1, 2026 Grand List.

Equality Valuation Services LLC was the firm selected by the town to assist in the completion of the 2026 revaluation.

All company inspectors will be registered with both the assessor's office and the East Haven Police Department, and residents are encouraged to contact either office should any concerns arise over who visits their home. Inspectors will be wearing photo identification.

For all properties that have been transferred during the course of this revaluation, the new owner will receive a sales verification form to ensure that all information regarding the sale is accurate.

No interior inspection is required.

All residential property owners will receive a data mailer later this summer. This form will contain all pertinent information relative to the interior and exterior of the dwelling or condominium that is presently on record with the Town.

This is the fundamental basis of the valuation of that property. Public participation is greatly needed for this critical aspect of the process, as the accuracy of this data is imperative.

The Town Assessor is strongly encouraging that each owner take five minutes to review this paperwork, as this is a major component of what your taxes will be based on for the next five years. Any corrections found should be forwarded to Equality Valuation Services LLC immediately.

Those properties with building permits for home improvements or new construction will be visited for exterior onsite inspections by Equality Valuation Services LLC.

Commercial and industrial properties will be receiving Income and Expense forms which will assist evaluators in determining their fair market value. These were mailed in early May with a return date of July 1, 2026. Those failing to return this form will receive a one-time 10 percent penalty added to their real estate assessment, per state statute.

If there are any questions about any aspect of the revaluation at any time during the entire process, feel free to contact the assessor's office at 203-468-3233.
