Vision Appraisal Technology has contracted with the Town of Granby to assist the Assessors with its state mandated revaluation for Oct. 1, 2022. The revaluation process is designed to eliminate inequities that may arise in assessments, as different properties experience appreciation or depreciation at varying levels over time. Its purpose is to value all property by similar standards at the same point in time. Once complete, citizens will be responsible for only their fair share of the cost for essential community services.
Data collection, the first phase of the project, has begun and will continue for four to six months. A data collector from Vision Appraisal will visit each property in town and physically measure the exterior. The inspection will take 10 to 15 minutes. Due to current health concerns the data collector will only measure the exterior of your home and any outbuildings on your property.
All Vision Appraisal representatives will carry proper identification and their automobiles will be listed with both the Assessor’s Office and the Granby Police Department. It is suggested that homeowners request identification when anyone is at their door.
As part of the process, the Assessor’s Office will also compile information about the property from existing Assessment Records and previous house to house visits in the form of a Data Mailer. The Data Mailers will be mailed out in the future.
New assessments will not be available until November 2022. Once established, a notice of new values will be mailed to all property owners. All property owners will be given an opportunity to attend an individual informal hearing for the purpose of discussing any issue regarding the assessment process and valuation issues.
