Property Tax Advisor, Connecticut

FairAppeal is a financial advisor for homeowners, helping them better manage their home finances, starting with property taxes. We are hiring advisors familiar with Connecticut to present prepared cases to town Boards of Assessment Appeals on behalf of property owners. Property taxes have increased 31% since 2019, and we aim to help homeowners manage these costs.

About the role

This is a flexible, supplemental contractor role ideal for individuals who want to take on cases on their own schedule. Most hearings are conducted virtually or by phone, allowing you to work from anywhere. Some towns hold in-person sessions, which are staffed locally.

Responsibilities

• Review the prepared case materials and supporting evidence ahead of each hearing.
• Represent property owners at Board of Assessment Appeals hearings across Connecticut.
• Present the evidence clearly and persuasively to board members.
• Engage in informal negotiation or settlement discussions with the assessor or board where allowed.
• Report hearing outcomes back to the team.

Requirements

• Comfortable presenting and advocating in a hearing setting.
• Organized, reliable, and responsive.
• Familiar with Connecticut and how its local boards work (you do not need to live in the state).

Bonus if you have appeared before a valuation board or previously worked as an assessor, but neither is required. Every case comes to you fully built, with prepared evidence packets and a flexible caseload you can fit around existing work.
