Town officials in the past few weeks have received notifications that four homeowners in New Canaan are appealing their property assessments from last fall.

Calling the assessments “grossly excessive, disproportionate and unlawful,” the property owners’ attorneys are seeking a reduction and reimbursement for tax overpayments, according to lawsuits filed between April 13 and 29 in Superior Court.
In one of the four cases, the original 2015 valuation was reduced following a hearing before the Board of Assessment Appeals. That was at 25 Parker’s Glen, when an initial valuation whose fair market value came to $3,405,570 was reduced to $3,328,500.
