Seeing Assessors Out?

Joint Tri-Town Assessing Board

The Towns of New London, Newbury, and Sunapee have partnered through an Intermunicipal Agreement to provide professional assessing services across all three communities. By sharing a full-time assessor and related resources, the towns are able to deliver consistent, high-quality property assessment services while reducing costs through regional collaboration.

The agreement establishes a Joint Board, with representatives from each community, to oversee the assessor, approve the annual operating budget, and manage the shared service. Costs are apportioned among the towns based primarily on each community's share of the total parcels being assessed, ensuring an equitable distribution of expenses.

This collaborative approach promotes efficiency, consistency in property valuation practices, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources while allowing each town to retain its local governance and Board of Assessors. The agreement also outlines budgeting, cost-sharing, governance, and procedures for renewal or withdrawal from the partnership.

The Intermunicipal Assessing Agreement reflects the three towns' long-standing commitment to working together to provide essential municipal services in an effective and fiscally responsible manner.
