Property Revaluation Kicks Off In Vernon

VERNON, CT — Vernon officials have begun the property revaluation process with some minor adjustments for coronavirus protocol.

Vernon Assessor David Wheeler said Friday that the traditional external inspections of all homes will take place, but staffers will be wearing masks and staying a reasonable distance from each house.

Internal home inspections, rare during any revaluation year, will not be taking place in any form because of pandemic protocols, Wheeler said.

Property owners have been sent detailed spreadsheets noting their home statistics and should review, sign and sent them back to the assessor's office as soon as possible.

He said the process should be completed by the fall with appeals hearings on tap for November and December.

The new home values should take effect for the October 2021 Grand list and the 2021-22 fiscal year.

Updated assessments should appear for the July 2022 take bills, he said.
