West Hartford To Mail Revaluation Notices As Residential Values Rise 58.6%

West Hartford will mail new assessment notices Wednesday, Nov. 11, after completing its real estate revaluation, according to the town. Residential property values increased 58.6%, with condominiums up 57%, apartments 56%, industrial properties 41% and commercial properties 31%.

Notices compare prior market values and assessments with new figures based on conditions Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026. New assessments, not market values, will govern June 2027 tax bills using a mill rate the Town Council adopts in April 2027. Applicable exemptions will appear on bills.

Owners disputing valuations can schedule informal conferences Tuesday, Nov. 17, through Saturday, Dec. 19. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to noon.

Conferences require appointments, separately for each property. Owners can book an appointment or call 860-561-7598, using property type and PID information on their notice. Requests for multiple commercial properties should be emailed to patrick.sullivan@westhartfordct.gov.

The town advises checking property records and comparable sales before scheduling, and bringing recent appraisals, a broker's opinion of value or comparable neighborhood sales. Conferences address values and assessment data, not tax rates or amounts. Results will arrive in writing.

Owners still dissatisfied may appeal to the Board of Assessment Appeals by Monday, Feb. 22, 2027, for hearings in March 2027. Forms will be available in February 2027 on the board's appeals page and at the Assessment Office, Town Hall, 50 South Main St., Room 142.

Applications may be delivered by hand, mailed, faxed to 860-561-7590 or emailed to whassessment@westhartfordct.gov. Applications postmarked after Monday, Feb. 22, 2027, will not be accepted.
