Connecticut’s Citizens’ Assembly on Property Taxes
A Message received by the Town of Hebron from the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities:
Residents in your communities may begin receiving letters inviting them to apply for Connecticut’s Citizens’ Assembly on Property Taxes. Only households that receive a letter are being asked to consider participating, and those who respond will be entered into a pool for randomized selection. These letters are legitimate and part of a carefully designed, nonpartisan initiative developed by CCM, State Comptroller Sean Scanlon, Yale University, and UConn.
These letters are legitimate and part of a carefully designed, nonpartisan initiative.

We encourage you to reassure residents that this is a trusted process supported by CCM and partner organizations and an opportunity for meaningful public input.
If you receive questions, included here is a brief FAQ with contact information.
