Retention of current events will prevent the loss of history for future generations

 

The Research and Historian Committee is seeking additional historical records, papers, photos, assessment personnel etc., relating to assessing and our CAAO. This data is being sought to assist the committee in its continuing efforts to document the history of the CAAO. Papers of interest may be sent to any member of the R & H Committee. Your efforts in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

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.
