The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6541, seeks to amend section 12-111 of the general statutes regarding the adjustments to gross assessments of taxable real property. The bill aims to clarify that the reasons for which a municipal tax assessor can modify a gross assessment established by the board of assessment appeals prior to a revaluation are limited to specific reasons outlined in the statute. Additionally, it mandates that any assessor who makes such changes must provide a written explanation for the adjustment.

This legislation is designed to enhance transparency and accountability in the assessment process by ensuring that assessors adhere to defined criteria when altering assessments and that they document their rationale for such changes. The proposed amendments will help streamline the assessment process and provide property owners with clearer insights into the basis for any adjustments made to their property assessments.
