What this form is
Owners of non-Connecticut-registered vehicles, including campers, must file this declaration with the Assessor in the municipality where the personal property is located. It collects owner, vehicle, campground, and property details for the October 1 assessment date. If you no longer own the property or moved it out of West Haven, the form directs you to return the sale affidavit with information about the new owner or destination instead of completing the full declaration. The form gives a November 2, 2026 filing deadline.
Who needs it
Owners of qualifying unregistered vehicles or campers located in West Haven must file annually, unless they report that the property was sold or moved away.
Why it needs a notary
The agent’s sworn declaration carries a “Subscribed and sworn to before me” block; the agent signs before an authorized notary or other listed official.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I file this declaration?
- Complete the applicable declaration, have the agent’s sworn statement notarized when filing as an agent, and deliver or postmark it to the West Haven Assessor by the stated deadline.
