Derby starts property revaluation project
DERBY- The City of Derby would like to make homeowners and commercial property owners aware the 2020 revaluation project is under way and will be performed by the City of Derby Assessor’s Office.
The first phase of the revaluation process is collecting current information on all properties within the city. Derby was scheduled to conduct a Full Inspection effort which included an onsite visit to all properties within the City.
Due to COVID-19, an executive order has been enacted by the state substituting the Full Inspection effort with a Data Mailer.
Data Mailers are a postal mailing that contains specific information on each property. They will be mailed to the owner on record with the City.
The property owner will be asked to make any necessary adjustments and return the form to the Derby Assessors office or deposit it in the drop box on the Minerva Street side of City Hall.
Detailed instructions will be included in the mailing.
The Data Mailers are expected to be mailed in July of 2020.
Any questions, please contact the Derby Assessor’s Office at revaluation@derbyct.gov or call 203-736-1455.
Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation in this very important process.
This is a press release from Derby Town/City Clerk Marc Garofalo.
Naugatuck Valley Health District: 1 more COVID-19 associated death since Tuesday
Director offers explanation of increase in local statistics
July 15, 2020, 8:59 p.m.
Jessica Stelmaszek, MPH
Director of Health
Good evening,
NVHD has received and identified a number of cases and 1 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 associated death since the last data report on July 14.
The increase in these local statistics is due to data and case information in the State of CT Electronic Disease Surveillance System. This increase does not mean all of the individuals tested positive or passed away in recent days.
Some of these individuals are no longer expressing symptoms (if they had any) or have already met CDC’s criteria to come out of isolation.
Data includes results from laboratories all around the country sent to the State of Connecticut who then enters it into the secure surveillance system. The timeframe of when results are available to the State and then to local health varies all the time and is not consistent.
Once the data is entered, additional information like demographic information, needs to be verified/confirmed and is not always readily available. Sometimes this information is updated after a result has already been reported.
Additionally, NVHD identified results of past PPS testing from nursing homes that had not been included in the local NVHD report yet.
We continue to strive to provide you the most current and accurate real-time data to the best of our ability during this pandemic and appreciate your understanding that all data presented is preliminary and subject to change.
Community transmission is still occurring and residents should still follow the current guidance of practicing social distancing, wearing a mask or face covering in public, and washing hands frequently and thoroughly.
Shops at Seymour to hold sidewalk sale Saturday; social distancing required
Please practice social distancing and wear a mask. The interior of the shops will also be open for shopping.
