Tax Appeals Start January 1 - April 1, 2012

Dear Bloomfield Residents,

We are all suffering under the continuing tax burden placed upon us by the current administration.

In the 10 years of McCarthy's reign, we have seen our property taxes increase about 110%.

That is completely unacceptable.  Increased taxes, decrease in services.

The Bloomfield Taxpayers Association will be hosting a workshop with an attorney so you can find out how to appeal your property taxes.

Last year there was an unprecedented number of appeals, especially in the Third Ward.  Most of us have homes that are worth a lot less, but we're paying property taxes on a higher value that no longer holds true.

While we may be able to get a reduction in our property taxes based on a current value of our homes, we must also be careful that the town does not raise the property tax rate and put us back to the same level.

They will try to get this money from us one way or the other.
