TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2023 BUDGET REQUEST
DEPARTMENT
BUDGET FUNCTION
The Board of Assessment Appeals is an official municipal agency, created by
Connecticut state law that is designed to serve as an appeal body for taxpayers
who wish to challenge the valuation of their property or the denial of an
exemption. The Board of Appeals is typically comprised of three elected
members who meet twice annually to hear taxpayer appeals. Appellants may
appear before the Board to appeal their current Grand List valuations for real
estate, personal property or motor vehicles in the month of March and may also
appear in September when the Board meets exclusively to review motor vehicle
appeals.
During the year in which a revaluation takes effect the number of appeals that the
Board is required to hear often increases dramatically. Due to the increased
workload in a statutorily defined period of time the standard rate of
compensation per board member temporarily increases to $300 per member.
Additionally, two alternate members are appointed to the Board to assist with the
hearing process and increased case load.
Assessment staff provides technical support during the hearing and deliberation
process and directs complex issues and questions to the Assessor for clarification
to the Board. All BAA members receive a fixed stipend for their service on the
board and assisting staff are compensated at the appropriate overtime rate and
are scheduled based on the number of appeals the Board receives.

Subject: FW: CAAO INFOLINE: BAA Workshop
The CAAO sponsors a workshop each year for new BAA members, assessment staff and Assessors who work closely with
the Board of Assessment Appeals.
This year we have one new office staff member, Kelcie, who will be acting as the Board’s secretary and admin, and a
newly elected BAA member, Lee Couture.
Because the board is tasked with specific authorities to change assessments, list additional, omitted assessments and
overturn exemption determinations, members and staff should be fully trained on all pertinent statutes and functions
of the Board. As well, since the Assessor acts as the technical advisor to the board, he/she should periodically sit
through a BAA refresher course to remain abreast of any changes to statutes or procedure.
~ 
Additionally next year is a revaluation year which will likely result in a marked increase in appeals to the Board for the
(March/April 2023 session. t anticipate that 2 BAA alternatives will be assisting the board in 2023 and the new Assistant
Assessor will also have joined the office staff so that between this year and next all new BAA members and staff who
1

ssist the board should have attended a BAA workshop. The current BAA chair, Marilyn Lusher and member Mike
Buscetto have attended workshops in the past.
$150 is budgeted each year for Board of Assessment Appeals education.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
