09/16/26 Board of Assessment Appeals

The Town of Fairfield Connecticut Board of Assessment Appeals held a meeting on September 16, 2026, focused exclusively on motor vehicle assessment appeals. The primary procurement-related discussion involved reviewing and verifying the assessed value of a 2018 Tesla Model X 75D. The board examined discrepancies between the vehicle's Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) and the assessed value used for tax purposes, ultimately agreeing that the correct MSRP should be $79,500. They calculated the depreciated assessed value accordingly and planned to forward their findings to the town assessor's office for final determination. The board also discussed procedural aspects of appeals and the use of AI models for property valuation, noting potential impacts on uniformity and accuracy. A motion to approve the meeting minutes was passed before adjournment.
