Derby Revaluation of Properties Getting Underway

DERBY- The City of Derby would like to make homeowners and commercial property owners aware that the 2020 revaluation project is under way and will be performed by the City of Derby Assessor’s Office.

The first phase of the revaluation process is collecting current information on all properties within the City of Derby. Derby was scheduled to conduct a Full Inspection effort which included an onsite visit to all properties within the City.  Due to COVID-19, an executive order has been enacted by the state substituting the Full Inspection effort with a Data Mailer. 

Data Mailers are a postal mailing that contains specific information on each property.  They will be mailed to the owner on record with the City.  The property owner will be asked to make any necessary adjustments and return the form to the Derby Assessors office or deposit it in the drop box on the Minerva side of City Hall.  Detailed instructions will be included in the mailing.

The Data Mailers are expected to be mailed in July of 2020.

Any questions, please contact the Derby Assessor’s Office at revaluation@derbyct.gov or call 203-736-1455. Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation in this very important process.
