BERLIN — The city’s property revaluation for 2026 is complete.
A notice of new value is expected to be sent to taxpayers in mid-October. The Assessor’s Office will outline days and times available to meet with taxpayers with questions about their new value. Informal hearings are expected to occur in late October and early November, as earlier published in the Sun.
