Valuation Date: In each municipality, property
is assessed based on what its market value would have been on this
date given its condition on taxable status date. In most towns,
Valuation Date is July 1 of the year prior to the roll. (Please
confirm the date in your municipality with your assessor.)
Taxable Status Date: The assessment reflects the
ownership and physical condition of the property as of this date.
In addition, most exemption applications must be filed with the
assessor by this date. In most towns, Taxable Status Date is March
1 of the year in which the roll is filed. (Again, please confirm
the date in your municipality with your assessor.)
