Property records in Connecticut are maintained at the municipality level. The Town Assessor handles property valuations and assessment data. The Town Tax Collector handles tax bills and payments. These are separate offices with separate databases.
What this page covers: Connecticut property assessment lookups, tax record searches, and parcel/ownership data. What it does not cover: Recorded documents like deeds and mortgages (those are on the Recorded Documents page) or property transfer history.
Where to start: For property values and tax assessments, start with the Town Assessor. For tax payment history and bills, go to the Town Tax Collector. For ownership verification, you may need both the assessment records and the recorded documents.
Common mistake: Property assessment records (values and taxes) and recorded documents (deeds and liens) are maintained by different offices in Connecticut. The Town Assessor handles assessments; the Town Clerk handles recordings. Search both if you need the full picture.
