Column: Be Prepared for 2025 Fairfield County Real Estate Revaluations

Pullman & Comley Property Tax and Valuation attorneys Gregory F. Servodidio, CRE, Laura Bellotti Cardillo, Michael J. Marafito and Elliott B. Pollack authored the Westfair Business Journal column, "Be Prepared for 2025 Fairfield County Real Estate Revaluations.” The article discussed key steps property owners should take as several Fairfield County municipalities conduct revaluations effective October 1, 2025.

The attorneys explain that property owners in Bridgeport, Fairfield, Greenwich, Shelton, Stratford and Westport will receive notices outlining their new assessments, “which should represent 70% of a property’s fair market value,” along with the opportunity for an informal hearing with the town or its revaluation company. They emphasize the importance of reviewing assessments closely, noting that “the best outcomes are often achieved during the informal hearing process.”

If informal discussions are unsuccessful, property owners must formally appeal to the municipality’s Board of Assessment Appeals by February 20, 2026 (with some towns extending the deadline to March 20, 2026). This filing is required before a Superior Court tax appeal can be pursued. The article also highlights that comparable properties must be assessed equitably, which may provide grounds for action even when a single valuation appears reasonable on its own.
