Real Estate

*Please note that the Town Of Winsor Locks was part of a bill that postponed our Revaluation until 2024.

The Town of Windsor Locks is currently in the process of a revaluation to take effect for the 2024 Grand List.

The property record reflects the market value as of the last real estate revaluation, October 1, 2018, the assessment is 70% of the value. Property transfer, sale, and ownership information were last updated in 2018.

Property owners are encouraged to review property data. Contact the Assessor’s Office concerning value, exemption questions, and record discrepancies.

Business / Personal Property

Our Business Personal Property filing period runs from October 1st, 2025 - November 1, 2025. All declarations must be in office by close of business November 1, 2025 to be considered on time. The only exception to this is if the declaration is being mailed into our office. If this is the case the postmark from the post office (not a postage meter in your office) must state November 1, 2025 at the latest. These same rules apply for any exemption forms that would be filed.

If you file online the portal is open October 1, 2025 - November 1, 2025. If your declaration is not submitted online during this time period you will need to file a paper copy with our office.

Motor Vehicles

Vehicles registered in Windsor Locks as of October 1st are assessed at 70% of the NADA New England Retail Value. The tax is distributed in July.
Vehicles registered in Windsor Locks after October 1st are assessed at 70% of the NADA New England Retail Value. The tax is distributed in January.

*PLEASE NOTE*

For the 2024 Grand List and moving forward the way that Motor Vehicles are valued will be changing.

The NADA New England Retail Value will no longer be used. The MSRP of the vehicle given by Price Digest multiplied by a depreciation percent established by the Connecticut Legislators for the year of your vehicle will give the value of the vehicle. That value is then multiplied by 70% to get the assessed value that you are taxed on.

Below is the depreciation amount per year that the legislation established.

EX.

2018 Model Year      MSRP = 20,000

20,000  X   .55  X  .70 = 7,700 Assessed

2004 Model Year      MSRP = 10,000

10,000  X  .15  X  .70 = 1,050 Assessed

1995 Model Year      MSRP = 3,000

3,000  X  .15  X  .70 = 315 Assessed ------ *500 Assessed

*The value of the vehicle that was over 20 years old was under the minimum of 500 so the value reverts to 500.*
