The CAAO Research/Historian Committee wanted to record the events for future generations.
We have asked Connecticut assessors to record their own experiences in running their assessors
office during these critical times. Listed in the report are the comments from Connecticut assessors.
The Research/Historian Committee sent out a flyer on the CAAO Hot Line April 21st and had it
on the front page of the May 2020 Assessoreporter. There were 14 questions. Not all of the
questions had to be answered. The listing of the town represents the comments from the assessor
of that town.
