2021 Revaluation

The Town of Trumbull is currently conducting the State of Connecticut’s mandated revaluation process. The Town hired Municipal Valuations Services, LLC (Munival) of Fairfield, CT to assist the Town with the revaluation. As part of this process, Munival mailed each household a data verification letter in July 2021 containing specific information to your household. Residents were asked to review the form and return it back to Munival for review. This information was used to help determine property values.  Please click on link for additional Revaluation information: Trumbull 2021 Revaluation Project (PDF), and refer to the Frequently Asked Questions below:
