What this form is
The form lets the Assessor assess taxable personal property, including unregistered vehicles and vehicles garaged in Connecticut but registered elsewhere. Owners complete the vehicle details and declare the information under penalty of false statement. If the owner sold the property or moved it out of the municipality, the form provides an affidavit to report that instead. The form states a November 3, 2025 filing deadline and warns of a 25% assessment penalty for late filing.
Who needs it
Owners of non-Connecticut-registered or unregistered vehicles located in the municipality file this declaration with the Assessor each year.
Why it needs a notary
The agent’s sworn declaration has a “Subscribed and sworn to before me” block; the agent signs before an authorized notary or other listed officer.
