About Access to Information
The difference between Hamden and North Haven
Hamden made its revaluation list immediately available to Hamden residents on the internet, at Hamden town hall, and also at the Miller Library. The Miller library is open seven days a week and usually until 9 PM, making this important information easily accessible to working people. Hamden residents can also copy pages of the their reval list for only 15 cents/pg at their library, while North Haven residents must pay 50 cents at Town Hall. Hamden also provides other important town information at a table in the lobby of the Miller Library, including their five-year plan. Why doesn't North Haven provide this information at our library?
Hamden and 61 other CT towns used visionappraisal.com to provide reval information:
