(1949 Rev., S. 1879; S.A. 02-12, S. 1.)
When real estate
in any district is so entered in the list of the town in common with other real estate
situated out of such district that there is no distinct and separate value put by the assessors
upon the part lying in such district, one or more of the assessors of the town in which
such property is situated shall, on application of such district, value the part lying in
such district and return a list of the same to the clerk of such district. Notice of such
valuation, and of the meeting of the assessors and selectmen mentioned in section 12-
200, shall be given by the district committee in the same way as a notice for district
meetings.
(1949 Rev., S. 1880.)
Doings of assessors under this section upheld and construed. 15 C. 447; 76 C. 696. Return to district clerk of list and
notices of valuations and meetings are essential for valid tax on property partly in district. 122 C. 404.
Sec. 12-199. Assessment of real estate omitted from town list or with title
changed. When any real estate in any district liable to taxation has not been put into
the town list, one or more of the assessors of the town in which such omission has
occurred, on application of such district, shall value such real estate and add such property to the list of the district. When a district lays a tax on the town list last completed,
and the title to any real estate appearing on such list has been changed before the time
of laying such tax, one or more of the assessors of the town in which such change of
property occurred, on application of such district, shall value such real estate in the name
of the person owning it at the time of laying such tax and deduct the same from the list
of the person in whose name it stood on the town list. The assessors, in performing the
duties herein prescribed, shall proceed in the manner prescribed in section 12-198.
(1949 Rev., S. 1881.)
Cited. 122 C. 404.
At the end of ten days after the return of such
list, the assessors and selectmen of the town shall meet in such place as such committee
designates in such notice, and shall have the same power in relation to such list that the
board of assessment appeals has in relation to the town list; and such valuation shall be
the basis of taxation for such property by such district for the year ensuing. Such assessors
shall be paid by such district a reasonable compensation for their services.
(1949 Rev., S. 1882; 1953, S. 1082d; P.A. 95-283, S. 62, 68.)
History: P.A. 95-283 replaced board of tax review with board of assessment appeals, effective July 6, 1995.
Cited. 76 C. 698. Failure of assessors and selectmen to meet is sufficient to invalidate tax predicated on assessment
which included land outside district. 122 C. 405.
