_ DEPARTMENT: REGISTRAR OF VOTERS |
BUDGET FUNCTION
The Registrars of Voters are responsible for the administration of the election process, the annual
canvas and the maintenance of the town’s voter database.
The annual canvas of electors is completed each year from January to May as required by law. The
information is received from the NCOA (National Change of Address) that is supplied to us by the Post
Office. An inactive list of voters is generated naming those voters who have not responded to the
annual canvas. Periodically, we do a non-voting canvas to keep our records as accurate as possible.
Connecticut is also a member of ERIC (Electronic Registration Information Center) which is an
organization that assists states and towns to improve the accuracy of their voter rolls by comparing
voter registries and other lists from state agencies such as the DMV. This is done concurrently with the
aforementioned NCOA canvas. ERIC is growing and now consists of about 35 states.
The registrars attend ROVAC (Registrars of Voters Association of Connecticut) spring and fall
conferences where we receive training and obtain credits towards our required continuing education.
Our deputies attend one day so they can learn procedures, as well. We also attend most monthly New
London County ROVAC meetings held in Montville and all necessary town meetings.
Before every election, we hire and train thirty to fifty poll workers depending on the needs of that year’s
election. Our elections run in a two and four year cycle and our budgets are adjusted based on this
cycle.
We register voters in person at our office, online through the CT Voter Registration System and online
through the DMV.
The current number of registered voters as of 11/30/2022 is 14,501.
Our office hours are Monday through Friday 9:30 to 12:30. Office hours are increased during the busy
election months as needed.

BUDGET SUMMARY 2024
Please find enclosed the Registrar of Voters’ proposed budget for FY 2024. We have worked diligently
to make our budget as close to our expenditures as possible without having to ask for more funding
throughout the year.
.
Early voting was approved in the recent 2022 election. At this time it is unclear how it will affect our
budget as to additional personnel hours and supplies.
This year we are budgeting for a Municipal election.

Assessor's Office
FY 2022-2023
GL 2021
Staff: Paige Walton, Nicole Serra, Kelcie Sullivan, Richard Messina
The primary function of the Assessor's Office is the discovery listing and valuation of all taxable and
tax-exempt property. Three categories of property; real estate, motor vehicle and business personal
property, comprise the grand list. In compiling the annual grand list office staff regularly reviews and
inspects ongoing improvements made to real property, conducts reviews and audits of business
personal property equipment and maintains and values all vehicles located within the Town of
Waterford as of the October 1‘ assessment date.
The Assessor’s Office is also responsible for the administration of numerous state-mandated and local
option tax exemptions and abatements such as the Tax Relief for the Elderly, Veterans, Blind and
Disabled programs. In addition to the appraisal, classification and recording of all property the
Assessment division must analyze and properly reflect all property transfers and ownership changes in
order to maintain an accurate and current CAMA database.
Our goal is to perform responsible assessment, appraisal and administrative work to ensure uniformity
and an equitable distribution of the tax burden. As well, we strive to ensure that computerized records
are regularly and efficiently updated to permit prompt public access to data and to enable statutory and
statistical revaluations to proceed proficiently. This includes the maintenance of accurate tax/GIS
maps which requires processing and recording changes resulting from subdivisions, assemblage,
boundary agreements and surveys.
The Assessment Department continues to incorporate various technological advances including online
personal property declaration filing, as well as staff education, to improve our administrative processes
and increase our efficiency in serving the public.
Before corrections and Board of Assessment Appeals adjustments the 2021 Net Grand List totaled
$3,512,862,470. The Board of Assessment Appeals met in the month of March and reduced the Net
Grand List by $427,500. The final 2021 taxable net Grand List as reported to OPM was:

Summary of Change
The 2021 Assessor’s Grand List realized a net increase of _$125,261,784 or a net change of 3.71%.
This Grand List growth is due primarily to new construction and property improvements resulting from
building permits and from a close review of property sales wherein significant property improvements
were noted. Major construction projects impacting the 2021Grand List include the new Hartford
Healthcare building at 5 Dayton Road, apartments located at 171 Rope Ferry Road and sites approved
for commercial development with construction underway for the Waterford Woods apartment complex
on Willets Avenue and the utility scale solar facility located at 117 Oil Mill Road. The motor vehicle
list included 682 fewer vehicles this year, primarily as a result of the DMV’s extension on vehicle
registration renewals. Despite the vehicle count decrease the demand for used cards over the past year
has resulted in either value retention or appreciation. Surrounding towns have reported similar rates of
increase.
e The Grand List 2021 change in each component is the result of:
e Personal Property- Values increased by 6. 14% led by changes made at Dominion as well as
personal property additions by CL&P.
e Real Estate- There was a 1.18% increase resulting from new construction and property
improvements made town-wide.
e Motor Vehicle — The 2021 Grand List increased by 25.65%. The COVID-19 pandemic has
affected all aspects of the motor vehicle industry including manufacturing, computer chip
shortages and mandatory shutdowns. The significant interruption in the consumer supply chain
has resulted in both an increase in demand and value across all vehicle classes.

economic income data relevant to the 2022 state-mandated revaluation.
The 2022 town-wide revaluation commenced in March 2021 with the mailing and
collection of data mailers to all residential property owners. Vision data collectors
visited all commercial properties to record changes, property use and condition.
Residential properties were measured and listed when returned data mailers indicated
a change in construction detail or when completed data mailers were not received by
the Assessor’s office. Revaluation staff also made site visits to all properties with
outstanding building permits.
Preliminary values resulting from the 2022 revaluation will be established and impact
notices mailed by November 23", 2022 to all property owners. Informal hearings will
be conducted by telephone in mid-December for all property owners wishing to
discuss their newly established valuations. The revaluation is anticipated to be
finalized and certified by January 31°, 2023.
