Wilton Answer Book – Government

Where are town offices?

Wilton Town Hall, with its large white columns in front, is at 238 Danbury Road (Route 7). It is open from 8:30 to 4:30. The general number is 563-0100, fax 563-0299. The town’s Web site is wiltonct.org.

The Town Hall Annex is next door and houses the planning and zoning, building, health, and public works departments. The annex is open from 8 to 4 in the summer and 8:30 to 4:30 the rest of the year.

The senior center, parks and recreation and social services departments are in the Comstock Community Center on School Road. Hours are 8:30 to 4:30 summer, and 9 to 5 the rest of the year.

Who is the chief executive of the town?

The first selectman is William F. Brennan, a Republican first elected in 2005.

He is also chairman of the Board of Selectmen, which consists of Democrats Richard Creeth and Ted Hoffstater, and Republicans Harold Clark and Susan Bruschi.

The board is responsible for directing the administration, policy-making, and daily affairs of the town. The first selectman handles day-to-day administration, while the board as a whole handles major decisions.

Is there a directory of town officials?

Yes. The Town of Wilton publishes an annual report that describes all town commissions and lists all officials. The latest report is mailed to each home. Copies are available at the town clerk’s office in town hall. There is also a list on the town Web site, wiltonct.org. A list of officials and board members appears in the Answer Book.

What is the town budget?

Passed this spring, the overall town budget for the next fiscal year is $108 million. This includes: $69.5 million for schools, up 1.2% over the previous year, and $27.45 million for town operations, up 1.1% over the previous year. Debt service to pay off past bonds stands at $9 million, virtually unchanged over the previous year. 

What is the current tax rate in town?

The Wilton tax rate on both assessed property and personal property is 19.58 mills, an increase of 1.4% over the previous year. It is effective July 1, 2009. This represents a real tax of $19.58 on each $1,000 of assessed value. The assessed value of a house is 70% of the market value. If your house were assessed at $500,000, you would pay $9,790 in property taxes.

Car taxes are levied at the same mill rate of 19.58 used for real property taxes. The mill rate is applied to the current assessed value of the car.

What’s a grand list?

A New England term, the grand list is the town’s tax base and represents all taxable property in town. It is compiled every Oct. 1. The 2008 grand list was tallied at $5,021,331,498 after assessment appeals.

The grand list can be broken down as follows: residential property assessments, $3.9 billion; commercial real estate, $644 million; motor vehicles, $178.6 million; personal property, $200 million.

What is the town’s bond rating?

Moody’s Investors Service has given the town its highest rating of Aaa.

Who determines how much my house is worth for taxing purposes?

The town assessor’s office (563-0121) is responsible for determining the assessed value of your home. The assessor is David Lisowski.

How do I find the assessed value of my home?

You may call the assessor (563-0121) or the tax collector (563-0125) at the town hall, or you may go to the assessor’s office and look at the field card for your property. The field card lists the dimensions and other particulars used in figuring the valuation of your home. You may also go to the assessor’s Web page at wiltonct.org (click on Departments) and view the Assessor’s Online Database.

What do I do if I think my assessment is unfair?

To appeal your current assessment, you will need to appear before the Board of Assessment Appeals. The board meets twice a year; in September to consider motor vehicle assessments only, and in the spring (March or April) to consider all assessments. The board members will review your complaint and either grant or deny your appeal. To appeal, call the assessor’s office at 563-0121.

When is the next revaluation?

The state requires towns to execute a revaluation of properties every five years. The latest revaluation represents assessments as of Oct. 1, 2007 and was reflected on July 2008 tax bills. This was a full revaluation, conducted by Vision Appraisal Technology, with assessments increasing an average of 29% over the last revaluation in 2002.

The next full revaluation will be done for Oct. 1, 2012.

Who is the tax collector?

Philip  Damato (563-0125) is responsible for calculating, issuing, and collecting all town and property taxes. His office is also responsible for water capital assessments and sewer user charges. The tax collector’s office also administers the False Alarm Management Program.

Where and when do I pay my town taxes?

Property and personal property taxes are due in two installments, July 1 and Jan. 1, and may be paid at the tax collector’s office in the town hall, or mailed to the address on the bill. Taxes may be paid within 30 days of the due date without penalty. Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt a property owner from payment of taxes or any penalties or accrued interest.

Vehicle taxes are due in one installment on July 1.

Taxes support schools, police, road improvements, debt payments, and all other town services. A detailed accounting of how collected taxes are spent is in the annual town report. You may also view a general accounting of tax revenues and expenditures on the tax collector’s Web page at wiltonct.org. Click on Departments.

What happens if I don’t pay my taxes on time?

You’ll be charged 1.5% interest each month on the installment balance. This works out to 18% annually. The town uses a collection service to encourage delinquent taxpayers to pay up.

Delinquent motor vehicle taxes will prevent you from registering your vehicle until you can prove you have paid up.

Does the town ever foreclose on tax-debtor property and have tax sales?

According to the tax collector, the town has the option to foreclose, but would rather work with banks and property owners to develop a payment schedule. The town will foreclose on a property as a last resort.

In cases where several years of back taxes are owed, the town has initiated a special tax sale, in which deeds to properties are sold to the highest bidder that are effective one year from the selling date. To retain the property, the original owner must reimburse the new deed holder taxes owed, plus 18% interest, within that year’s time. For more information, call Tax Collector Phillip Damato at 563-0125.

Are there any special taxing districts in town?

Unlike many neighboring towns, there are no special fire tax districts; the regular town taxes cover all fire protection costs. However, properties that are part of the sewer service area are charged a sewage service tax. Each sewer expansion can levy additional sewer fees.

Homes on the town water line will receive a water capital assessment.

Since northeastern Wilton is in the Georgetown Fire District, money to support the Georgetown Fire Department is contributed by the town. In other communities, fire districts often levy taxes.

Can veterans or the elderly get tax breaks?

There are breaks on both local and state taxes through the town benefit and state benefit programs for the elderly, disabled, and veterans.

In Wilton, qualified seniors or disabled people are eligible for tax credits and/or deferrals. The benefit level is determined by income. In 2009, the town’s highest tax credit of $3,700 is for qualifying taxpayers with an income under $38,100, including Social Security benefits. Smaller credits are available for those earning less than $63,400.

For state benefits, the adjusted gross income must be $37,300 or less for married couples, $30,500 or less for singles.

For either program, the applicant or their spouse must be 65 or older by Dec. 31, 2008. There is no age requirement under total disability.

In addition, applicants earning less than $81,100 may defer part or all of their tax bill, depending on income level. Deferred taxes, plus 5% simple interest, may be paid any time but are due when the property changes hands or is sold. Call the assessor (563-0122) if you have any questions.

The annual filing period is from Feb. 1 through May 15. The town program requires a new application each year. Applications must be picked up from the assessor’s office; they will not be mailed. Veterans need to file their discharge papers in the town clerk’s office by Oct. 1.

I got a tax bill for a car I don’t own any more. What should I do?

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) maintains vehicle ownership records, which it forwards to the town assessor’s office to determine the tax roll for cars owned by Wiltonians. If you forget to turn in the plates of your old vehicles, the DMV will continue to send ownership reports to the town.

To remove your car from the tax roll, return the plates to the DMV on Main Avenue in Norwalk and take the DMV return receipt to the assessor’s office. For an adjustment to be made additional proof is required. Examples of acceptable proof include, but are not limited to, a bill of sale, out of state registration, donation or junk receipt and trade-in papers.

What are our political parties and enrollments?

As of May 5, 2009, there were 11,601 registered voters in town: 4,270 Republicans; 3,121 Democrats; 4,197 unaffiliated, and 13 registered to other parties.

What do the registrars of voters do?

Registrars Clementina L. Gardner (Republican) and Carole Young-Kleinfeld (Democratic) are elected for a term of two years and serve as the local arm of the Connecticut Secretary of State.

Who can register to vote?

You may register at age 17, as long as you will be 18 by Election Day. You must also be a U.S. citizen, and live in Wilton to vote here. (There is an exemption for non-resident taxpayers; see below.)

Where and when may I register?

You may register Monday through Friday during business hours at the registrars’ office or town clerk’s office at town hall. You may also register by mail. To get a mail-in registration form, call the registrars’ office (563-0112) or download one from the registrars’ Web page at wiltonct.org.

The Department of Motor Vehicles also has voter registration cards, and will accept completed forms, which it will forward to the registrars. You can also get registration cards at the Wilton Library, Connecticut Department of Social Services, and all armed forces recruiting offices.

You may not vote until your application is approved by the Registrar of Voters.

Do I need to bring documents when I register?

Yes. You will need some evidence that you live in Wilton. A state driver’s license or state ID is usually all you will need. If you do not have a driver’s license or state ID, you may submit a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, or government document that shows your address. If you are registering by mail and you are registering for the first time in town, the form will tell you what to submit to avoid additional ID requirements the first time you vote.

Do I need to renew my voting privileges?

You do not need to reappear at town hall to renew your voting privileges, but you may need to confirm your voting residence on a form the registrars’ office may mail to you periodically. If you fail to return the card, you will be made an inactive voter. If your name is placed on the inactive list and you turn up at the polls to vote, you will need to be restored as a voter before you are able to vote.

If you are not sure if you are a registered active voter you may check your status at the Registrar of Voters Web page at wiltonct.org (click on Departments). With the page open, click on Voter Info Look-up in the left-hand column. If you are active you will find your name, party affiliation, and polling place.

Are there voting districts in town?

There are three voting districts in Wilton. Voting Districts I and III are part of the 26th State Senate district and 143rd State House of Representatives district, and District II is part of the 26th State Senate district and 125th State House of Representatives district.

Who may vote by absentee ballot?

Any registered voter who will be out of town during all voting hours may cast an absentee ballot. Certain other reasons, such as illness or physical disability, religious beliefs, or your duties as an election official at a district other than your own allow use of absentee ballots by people who will be in town during polling hours. If you are a first-time voter voting by absentee ballot you may be required to submit identification with your ballot.

You may vote by absentee ballot for any federal, state or local municipal election. You may vote by absentee for any referendum with less than three weeks notice or adjourned town meeting vote, but ballots are not available until the day after the town meeting is held.

How and where do I get an absentee ballot?

After you return the application, it will be processed and the absentee ballot will be sent to you, but not until two to four weeks before the actual election. If the ballot is printed and ready, you may fill it out at the town clerk’s office. Absentee ballots, however, cannot be mailed to a person for a referendum.

May a non-resident vote here?

Special Town Meetings are held as needed to discuss changes and transfers within the current year’s budget, proposed ordinances, borrowing proposals and other matters.
