How are the morning runs there? Age wise and skill level as you've asked? Does the JCC require membership? I've been looking for something a bit more active in the morning hours for basketball.

For your after work needs, the LA fitness is good for those hours. My schedule usually works out for morning runs, and it's pretty dead at those times. For the few times I've been able to make it in the evening, there's been great runs.

I see people playing basketball every time I'm at la fitness

YMCA?

La Fitness for sure, Stamford and Norwalk have a lot pickup games, enjoy!

My boyfriend plays frequently at LA Fitness

There’s also a bunch of adult leagues throughout the year

Stamford JCC has morning runs Wed-Fri at 6 AM.

Age? Skill level?

Increase is likely systematic, but if you're looking for idiosyncrasies I'd: compare the cities metrics YoY, n vs the independent appraisal. Then flup w the city for clarification why something seems off.

His (new) wife and her twin worked for his (John N’s) Italian restaurant franchise. He cheated on his wife with said employee, and then married her. His (new) wife and her twin stayed with that same company for a few years, I imagine until they went bankrupt.

The assessed value is supposed to be 70% of fair market value:

"The 2022 revaluation of all real estate in the City of Stamford is complete. As per the General Statutes of the State of Connecticut (§12-55 & §12-62(f) and local ordinance property assessment notices were recently mailed to all property owners. The new assessment represents 70% of the estimated fair market value as of October 1, 2022. The last revaluation was performed as of October 1, 2017."

I believe an appeal is far more likely to lower your assessment than to raise it, so you'd have little to lose. I couldn't tell you the proper documentation to help your case, but the recent assessment and the comps sound like they would improve your case.

The assessment is off by 10% or so and it won’t impact your taxes… appealing seems like a huge effort for very little to gain. If your valuation is high then everyone of your neighbors will be too, they use the same methodology for everyone.

If you just bought the house in a marketed / arms length transaction for significantly less than the assessment that’s good backup in itself. The town should have record of the sale but bring some evidence of the sale for the file. Appraisals are also extremely useful - definitely bring a copy of the appraisal. You could look at comps but I would focus heavily on the recent sale and appraisal. They will go much farther in establishing the value of your property than what your neighbors house may or may not be worth.

If I didn’t receive my new assessment in the mail is there another way to view it or ask for it?

Property value goes up but mill rate goes down. The real increase is a marginal %

The entire Stamford market received a significant Covid bump. A house purchased last year was worth more at the time of the assessments. While it’s good for you on paper because your house has upside value, it also results in a higher assessment and tax bill.
