April 23, 2018: It is that time for the Town of Branford to begin its Revaluation for 2019. The Town of Branford has entered into a contract with Vision Government Solutions Inc. to help the Town complete this state requirement in a professional and transparent manner.

The Vision Government Solutions employees will be on board the first week of May. Their office will be located in the Town Hall on the first floor just outside the Assessor's Office. At times when employees are in the field doing inspections, measuring, interviewing homeowners and reviewing parcels, the Assessor's Office will cover the Revaluation Office for assistance. This way there is always someone available to assist the Town of Branford's taxpayers. Office hours are 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The revaluation telephone number is (203) 315-0656.

Inspections will be starting the first week of May. Employees from Vision will have a letter of introduction from the Assessor's Office, a Vision employee card, a Town of Branford employee card and they will have their car plate, make and model registered with the Town of Branford Police Department. The starting point for inspections will be properties along the East Haven town line, cove camps and mobile home parks. Branford residents should ask to see proper identification before letting anyone enter your premises. If you have any questions please telephone the Assessor's Office at (203) 488-2039.

As this process continues please touch base with us at anytime either at the Revaluation Office, the Assessor's Office or the Town web page. Many of the current sales are on our Town of Branford web site and your field cards are on the Vision Government Solutions web site. Field cards on line will be updated for current owners mid October. The date on the field cards is for October 2017 Grand List. The 2018 Grand List field cards will be posted to the web site as of March, 2019.

By approximately the end of April we will have started a Revaluation web page linked through our Town's web site to the Vision web page. If you have questions we encourage you to visit the website.

There will also be a revaluation mailer to all Taxpayers the end of April. We hope to keep the public informed through awareness of state regulation and technology. It enables us to give you more information than we ever could before.

The Town of Branford and Vision Government Solutions look forward to working with the Taxpayers of Branford to complete this 2019 revaluation in an accurate, informative and most comfortable manner ever.
