NOTICE OF REVALUATION

As required by state law, the Town of Durham is revaluing all properties in town. Durham's most recent revaluation was completed for the 2020 Grand List. 

eQuality Valuation Services, LLC (hereinafter “eQuality”) of Waterbury, Connecticut, has been contracted by the Town of Durham to assist the Assessor in conducting the October 1st, 2025, revaluation. Under the Assessor's supervision, employees of eQuality will collect and analyze information about all properties. An important part of the valuation process involves measuring the outside and listing the interior of each improved parcel. 

A Data Collector will visit your property. A list of Data Collectors is to the right of this Notice under "Resources", "Related Documents". Each Data Collector will carry photo identification and the original letter of introduction. Their cars will be registered with the State Police and Durham Resident Troopers. After making a complete inspection, property owners may be asked to sign a form. The signature is only a verification of inspection and does not commit the homeowner in any way. The inspection will take between 10 to 15 minutes.

Additional information regarding the Revaluation Process can be found in the Revaluation Q & A pamphlet to the right and at www.townofdurhamct.org/subpages/revaluation-information. 

Respectfully, 

John Philip, Assessor
