Connecticut Association of
Assessing Officers

Current management in the town of Marlborough is reinvesting in the Assessor’s office and looking to transition from a one person, part-time, assessor to a full-time assessor working 36 hours per week with a full benefits package.

Our goal is to fill the assessor position first after which we will immediately fill the part-time assistant assessor position thereby enabling our new assessor to be involved with, and have some input in, the hiring of their new employee.

For any applicant who has any questions, or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact First Selectman Gregory Lowrey who will be happy to discuss the positions in greater detail.  Application is available at marlboroughct.net
