EASTON, CT — Easton homeowners should watch for new property assessment notices as the town completes its 2026 revaluation, which could change individual property tax bills beginning in July 2027.
The town announced in October that the revaluation was entering its final stages, with assessment notices expected to be mailed in early November.
The revaluation updates property values for the Oct. 1, 2026 Grand List, replacing assessments established during the town's last revaluation in 2021.
Will Property Taxes Go Up?
Not necessarily, according to town officials.
Easton says revaluation is revenue neutral, meaning the process itself does not increase or decrease the town's overall tax levy.
However, individual homeowners may see their bills rise or fall depending on how their property's value changes compared with other properties in town and the tax rate ultimately adopted.
How Easton Determines Property Values
The town hired Municipal Valuation Services, also known as Munival, to assist with the revaluation.
The company reviewed property information, analyzed real estate sales and conducted inspections to establish updated values.
During the inspection process, the town was divided into two areas: Aspetuck/Town Center and Easton North.
What If You Disagree With Your Assessment?
Homeowners who believe their new valuation is inaccurate may request an informal hearing with the revaluation company to review the property's information and estimated value.
If concerns remain unresolved, property owners can pursue a formal appeal through the Board of Assessment Appeals.
The town says application deadlines and hearing dates will be included with assessment notices.
Residents with questions can contact Municipal Valuation Services at 203-292-5500 or visit the town's revaluation information page.
The updated assessments will affect tax bills issued in July 2027, rather than current-year bills.
