TOWN OF WATERFORD
FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST
DEPARTMENT: Board of Assessment Appeals
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 caseload.
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.

BUDGET EXPLANATIONS BY CATEGORY
Personnel Costs: Compensation for members of the Board of Assessment Appeals is fixed at
$100 per year per member except during revaluations. To account for the anticipated number
of appeals in 2027, compensation will increase to $300 per member and an additional two
members will temporarily join the board as alternates. Clerical costs are based on the
estimated number of appeals that the board may hear resulting from the 2026 revaluation and
any motor vehicle appeals heard during the board’s September session. The chart below
outlines the number of appeals heard each year and the required clerical hours to facilitate the
hearing process. FY27 personnel costs are calculated assuming 262 total appeals with 67 hours
of clerical time provided by the Assessor’s staff at an overtime rate of pay. The calculated FICA
is included.
