Avon board notes motor-vehicle valuation change under new state law; no appeals filed
Summary
The Town of Avon Board of Assessment Appeals recorded that motor-vehicle values were adjusted under House Bill 7067 and a Town Council depreciation schedule; the Assessor will use MSRP and the statutory depreciation table to compute values. No property owners appealed.
The Town of Avon Board of Assessment Appeals met April 14, 2025, and recorded an adjustment to the town's Grand List for Motor Vehicles after the State enacted House Bill 7067 and the Town Council approved an alternative motor-vehicle depreciation schedule. The meeting opened at 6:00 p.m. and adjourned at 6:15 p.m.
The board was informed that the Assessor will "utilize the MSRP of a vehicle and apply the statutory depreciation schedule to calculate the depreciated value of the vehicle," a change driven by House Bill 7067 and guidance from the State of Connecticut Office of Policy and Management. The update resulted in a republished Grand List for Motor Vehicles for the town.
No property owners attended the meeting and no appeals were filed against the revised valuations. Chelsea Ross moved to end the meeting; Mike Guerrera seconded the motion. The motion was approved with votes recorded for Ross, Guerrera and Norman Sondheimer.
The board made no further decisions at the April 14 session; absent members were Jeffrey Maguire and Kershwin Singh. There were no presentations, hearings, or formal appeals related to specific vehicle valuations at this meeting.
The change described at the meeting reflects an administrative application of state law and the Town Council's depreciation schedule; the Assessor will apply MSRP and the statutory schedule when calculating depreciated values going forward. The board did not take further action beyond recording the change and adjourning.
