What this form is
Ashford’s 2026 form lets owners report non-Connecticut-registered or unregistered vehicles located in town, including campers, trailers, motorcycles, and other listed vehicle types. Owners must describe their property and return the declaration to the Assessor by November 2, 2026; the form states that late filing may result in a penalty equal to 25% of the assessment. If the owner sold or moved the property, the form provides an affidavit to return instead of completing the full declaration.
Who needs it
Owners of listed non-Connecticut-registered or unregistered vehicles located in Ashford must file annually, unless they sold or moved the property and return the affidavit instead.
Why it needs a notary
The agent’s sworn statement has a “Subscribed and sworn to before me” block; the agent signs the statement before the notary, who completes the block.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the agent’s sworn statement notarized online?
- Complete the declaration, then book a commissioned online notary. The agent signs during a live video session, and the notary completes the form’s “Subscribed and sworn to before me” block.
- Do I need to notarize the owner’s declaration?
- The form identifies an oath for an agent and includes a notary block for the agent’s sworn statement. It does not show that same sworn-statement block for the owner; ask the Assessor if unsure which section applies.
- Can a Connecticut signer use remote online notarization?
- Connecticut authorizes its notaries to perform remote online notarizations under Public Act 23-28, codified at Conn. Gen. Stat. §3-95b. Ask the Ashford Assessor whether it accepts a remotely notarized declaration before filing.
- Where do I file this declaration, and when is it due?
- File or postmark the 2026 declaration to the Ashford Assessor by November 2, 2026, to avoid the stated late-filing penalty. If unsure about filing requirements, confirm with the town clerk if unsure.
