Appraisal Process
NEMRC has completed a statistical reappraisal of all real property in Wallingford as of April 1, 2026. Over the past two years we have inspected the properties and entered the information into a computer assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) system. Many changes in property values have occurred since the previous reappraisal, and some properties have undergone substantial physical changes.
Please consider your appraisal to be at current fair market value levels. Previous assessments are
statutorily required for reporting but have no bearing on the current assessments. Current Use values and Veterans exemptions are not included in the listing.
The tax rate will be set after the completion of formal hearings and after the State finalizes the statewide rates. Do not equate a change in assessment with a change in tax amounts.
Every effort has been made to equitably assess property in Wallingford. Please compare your property with similar properties and with properties that have sold over the past three years.
Hearing Process
Informal informational meetings are an opportunity for a property owner to review the data and new
value with an assessor from NEMRC. They will be conducted either by phone or in person at the

We’re updating our 2021 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan! The Plan serves as a guidebook for identifying and addressing local risks and vulnerabilities, helping Wallingford become more resilient to natural hazards. For the month of May, we want to hear from our residents about what natural hazards you are most concerned about! Share your feedback by taking our online survey at https://tinyurl.com/wallingford-lhmp26-survey. Paper copies are also available at the Town Hall and Gilbert Hart Library and must be submitted to the Town Clerk by June 1, 2026. We will also be doing a “pop-up” event on May 16 (May 30 rain date), so keep an eye out for posters in the Wallingford Village Center and let us know your priorities with colorful stickers!
