Every five years, the State of Connecticut mandates towns perform a physical property revaluation, which includes physical inspections of each parcel of real estate.  New Fairfield officials say the purpose of the revaluation program is to develop accurate and uniform assessments based on market value as of October 1st. 

This should result in an equitable tax base throughout the town, distributed among New Fairfield taxpayers. 

Vision Government Solutions has been contracted by New Fairfield to assist in conducting this revaluation, under the supervision of the Town Assessor.  Vision employees will collect and analyze data on all properties in town, including both external and internal physical reviews, beginning on January 22.  

The employees will wear brightly colored inspection vests, carry photo identification and their cars will be registered with the New Fairfield Police Department and clearly marked “ASSESSOR’S OFFICE, POLICE DEPT. REGISTERED VEHICLE” and the Vision Government Solutions logo.
