Best advice on here. 95% of retail investors who trade options lose money, it's just not worth the upside OP.

Thanks

I received mine in the mail yesterday

Beta still does that! Monday nights

Question-Do they mail you the assessment, or how is it usually received by the owner?

If you are interested in theater, try volunteering at Curtain Call. They always need help behind the scenes as well as on stage. They are so friendly and welcoming, and eventually become like family.

So that’s a 50% increase which is pretty steep. Ours (also Stamford) is going up 30%. In our case that tracks pretty well with what our property value has done in that time. Down from its peaks, but about 30% higher that when the city did its last assessment.

The Grand list is going up 18%, so your effective taxes will be rising over 30% (~50-18).

On your assessment you can challenge the value, the include instructions to do so. If you feel the 50% increase is not in line with where your property value is in relation to the market, that would be your best bet.

Would love to join a group! 30f who moved to Stamford last summer! Work from home so looking to get out more 🙃

My guess is the covid exodus from nyc means the property value versus 2018 has exploded. I know I was house shopping during the covid years and the market was absolute bananas. The house we got had 2 over asking offers on it the day it hit the market, supposedly one of which was sight-unseen.

So yeah, the good news is your house is worth a lot more now.

Bumble bff! I’ve met so many people

mine currently sit at 15k.........

yeah that was a hard learning curve for me, tenants put out chairs, mattresses, etc. and they dont care. i thought it was the wrong day they were putting it out but it turns out they never offered a pickup service. even a chair the town wont take. only the dump

Really? Good info.

im a NYer myself. westchester is insane. not related to the post but one thing that turns me away from living in stamford myself is there is no bulk pickup for residents. only way to get rid of bulk trash is to drive it to the town dump

Yeah. My taxes are going from 7500 to 10000. I'm pissed.

Yea that’s pretty aggressive. Part of the reason I moved to Stamford about a year and half ago was because taxes were reasonable in comparison to Westchester and other areas of CT. If my house gets assessed significantly higher and taxes go up accordingly…Stamford wouldn’t be as desirable.

Sign me up! Single 39f here who just relocated after 15 years in the city.

havent looked at the market there since maybe 6 years ago, but a 300k increase is crazy to me. especially given the area the property is located is not the "nice" part of stamford.

thank you for your input

I mean property value in stamford over the last 2-3 years has increased exponentially. An area that was $350k-380k in 2019 is now ~$600k+, I’m no tax pro but I can’t help but think that may have an effect

Awesome, much appreciated!

Not specifically for Stamford, but there's a sight for Fairfield County, Stamford being one of the areas: https://fairfield.apaleagues.com/Default.aspx

Awesome appreciate the tip. I’ll definitely check it out

Thank you for the detailed response! I will definitely check some of these places out.

I used to play in a league a few years back pre-kids and would love to do it again at some point. Does the Stamford league have a website or anything?

Sooooo not weird! Like, I'm so happy for them! But I don't wanna do baby stuff I want to do adult stuff 😅😅😅

I’d love to join too. 43/F in Stamford! (I’m a young 43!)
