05/14/26 Board of Assessment Appeals - Special Meeting

The Town of Fairfield Connecticut Board of Assessment Appeals held a special meeting on May 14, 2026, to review multiple property tax assessment appeals. The board considered numerous residential and commercial property valuations, discussing appraisals, comparable sales, and specific property conditions such as easements, wetlands, and improvements. Several motions were made to grant appeals in part or full, adjusting assessed values based on evidence presented, including appraisals and market data. Notable discussions included adjustments for properties with drainage easements, condition factors, and land value discrepancies. The board also addressed appeals involving commercial lots with contamination and flooding issues. Votes were taken on each appeal, with some motions passing unanimously and others with dissenting votes or abstentions. The meeting focused extensively on property valuation adjustments rather than procurement or contracting matters.
