Municipal Tax Services, LLC (MTS) is committed to assisting local governments in the reclamation of tax dollars through its diligent and professional investigative efforts. Our process of identifying the potential taxpayer and acquiring the necessary information to pursue assessment of their property undergoes constant refinement. These refinements not only increase the speed at which we function but enhance the degree of accuracy and significantly increase the capacity of information we process in a short period of time.
Our program is designed to assist the municipal assessor with their enforcement of property assessment based upon their individual interpretation and application of Connecticut Law. We constantly seek the opinions of assessors and independent counsel as laws pertaining to assessments are enacted or amended to ensure our staff provides the most up-to-date information to taxpayers. To date, MTS has assisted ten (10) different municipalities with the successful assessment of over forty-thousand (40,000) vehicles and the reclamation of over twenty-million dollars ($20,000,000) in tax revenue.
Prior to employment, every applicant is required to undergo a rigorous screening process. This process includes a thorough criminal background check, verification that their motor vehicles are properly registered, and their personal property, if any, is accurately reported to the local Assessor. In addition, they are required to sign an affidavit of tax compliance attesting that they are current and will remain current throughout their employment, with all federal, state, and local tax obligations. Applicants must then complete an in-house training program to familiarize themselves with assessment laws and proper investigative practices.
