DERBY — Residents can breathe a little easier this week after state lawmakers voted to delay the start of Derby’s revaluation for one year.
What’s A Reval?
Revaluation refers to the process by which a given property’s assessment is determined. Click here for a detailed explanation from the Town of Wolcott.
Property assessments are a key part of the local tax formula. Tax bills are calculated by multiplying the assessed value of a property by the mill rate and then dividing by 1,000. If a revaluation raises a property’s assessment, and a mill rate stays the same or is raised (or isn’t lowered enough to balance the new assessment) — a tax bill goes up.
State law mandates every community in Connecticut to conduct revaluations every five years.
SEYMOUR – The Seymour Board of Finance on Wednesday (May 8) unanimously approved a reduced town and school budget for fiscal year 2024 – 2025, nearly a week after voters rejected both budgets.

A second budget referendum is scheduled for 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. May 16 at the Seymour Community Center, 20 Pine St.
