The responsibilities of the Assessor’s office are to discover, list and value all real estate, motor vehicles and personal property located within the Town of Roxbury and to administer Public Act 490, tax relief programs and exemptions. These responsibilities are done in accordance with Connecticut State Statutes, Rules and Regulations of the Office of Policy and Management for the State of Connecticut and local ordinances.
Important Information

REVALUATION UPDATE
The new assessments for all Real Estate in the Town of Roxbury for the 2012 Grand List are now available on Vision Government Solutions, Inc. - Assessor’s On-Line Database.
