Property tax payments will be accepted in hand at the Tax Collectors office [9 AM - 2 PM] or postmarked for Monday, December 22, 2008 without additional interest or penalty due to the slow return of power.

With the snowstorm predicted for this afternoon and another on its way for Sunday, we may have some power outages. Please remember to log your power outage with Public Service at 1-800-662-7764 even if you think your neighbor has already reported the issue. This helps Public Service gauge their response needs and it puts your outage on a list to be addressed.

Water is available at the Public Safety Building located on Route 9; whether you have containers to fill or would like to pick up bottled water.

Should you have any issue over the weekend, please call the non-emergency phone line at 664-2700 for assistance. All emergencies should be reported immediately to 911.

In keeping with our goal of reviewing property assessments on a regular basis, the Town will be completing a town-wide revaluation of property in 2009. The firm of Cross Country Appraisal Group has been hired to complete this revaluation and representatives from the firm are in the field collecting data. Property owners will be provided information on the valuation of their property by mail and will be provided an opportunity to meet with the Assessors to discuss your property valuation in mid-summer.  Any changes to your property valuation will be applied in December of 2009. For the next couple of months representatives from Cross Country Appraisal will be in the field and visiting individual properties. Each representative has a company identifcation badge and is listed with the Barrington Police Department. If you have any concerns about the identity of any on your property, please do not hesitate to contact the Police Department at 664-7679 or the Town's Assessing Office at 664-0148. A complete list of the company's representatives assigned to the Barrington project including the make and model of the vehicle they are driving and license plate information is available through these offices.
