Audits

Connecticut State Statute 12-53 allows Assessors to perform audits regarding personal property. The Town of Hamden has an active Personal Property audit program that examines the financial information of businesses in the Town on a random basis. A business owner is notified by certified mail as to the time, place and documents required for the audit.

Upon completion of the audit, the taxpayer is notified by mail of any increases or decreases to their assessment. The taxpayer has the right to appeal the audit results with the Board of Assessment Appeals.
