Homeowner Appeals Tax Assessment 

The town on Monday received an appeal filed on behalf of a New Canaan homeowner saying that a recent tax assessment was excessive. 

According to a claim filed in the Town Clerk’s office by Stamford-based attorney Joseph J. Capalbo II, the approximately $3 million October 2023 assessment of 42 Pepper Lane—including after a Board of Assessment Appeals reduction of some $60,000—is “manifestly excessive and could not have been arrived at except by disregarding the provisions of the statutes for determining the valuation of such property,” the complaint said. The plaintiffs are “aggrieved” by the assessment, which was based on a “grossly excessive, disproportionate and unlawful” valuation, it said. They are seeking a new assessment, reimbursement for excess taxes paid, interest and “such other and further relief as the Court may [determine as] just, reasonable and equitable,” Capalbo said in the appeal.
