No Change to Country Club's $24.2 Million Assessment

The town's three-member Board of Assessment Appeals made no change (as it did in some cases) following a bid made by the Country Club of New Canaan, which has the highest-assessed property in New Canaan that filed an appeal.

Update

The three-member Board of Assessment Appeals, which includes Wendy Fog, Patrick McLevey and Katherine Markiewicz, voted unanimously in each case listed below on whether to alter the assessments of their real property from the town, according to voting records filed with the Town Clerk.

No change was made to the assessment of the Country Club of New Canaan—the property in town whose assessment had the highest value that was appealed.

The board voted in these cases during public meetings on March 14, 15 and 20.

The new columns in the tables listed below are "Outcome" and "Reason for change"—two more installments that track the board's voting record will follow.

Original Post (March 8)

The following property owners are scheduled to appear Friday before the New Canaan Board of Assessment Appeals. Listed below are property owners' names as per the assessor, the street address of the property in question (plotted on map at right) and its last assessed value. They're the third group to come before the board this week.

Attached to this article () is a "Guide to Assessment Standards" from the International Association of Assessing Officers.

As New Canaan Assessor Sebastian Caldarella told Patch in an email, all assessments now are based on market values as of last town wide revaluation, completed for values as of Oct. 1, 2008.

Where DIDN'T you learn to write?? Jane Himmel May 22, 2013 at 01:27 pm "This has CONVINCED MYRead More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

Tom, the tree warden doesn't just "put in trees and take them down" just like that. ThereRead More is a reason behind every tree that has come down or gone up. Whats with this town and trees anyway? It seems like a huge source of controversy...they are TREES.

if they had done it at night at least it wouldn't have been smudged. BUT, i happen to think itsRead More nice, and especially with the flags hanging. we forget we are a small new england town, and small things like the red white and blue stripes remind me that we still are! :)
