Middlebury Board of Assessment Appeals approves multiple reductions, denies others after hearings April 25

The Middlebury Board of Assessment Appeals met at the Assessor’s Office on April 25, 2026, calling the session to order at 10:05 a.m. Chairman Stephen R. Ferrucci III and Commissioners Brenden M. Browne and Robert J. Flanagan Jr. presided. The board considered a sequence of appeals from homeowners and property owners and voted on each case; motions recorded in the minutes were carried unanimously.

Among the outcomes, the board reduced the market value for Beverly Gugliotti’s property at 139 Burr Hall Rd to $670,000 (assessed $469,000), accepted appraisal-based values for multiple single-family properties (for example, Buy or Sell Realty LLC at 372 Tucker Hill Rd set to Market Value $1,375,000/Assessed $962,500), and changed the construction grade for 417 Highland LLC (Marcos de Escobar) lowering its market value to $866,700 (assessed $606,690). Several appeals were denied for insufficient evidence, including the Olymbec Preston Park LP filings for parcels near the former Chemtura site. The meeting concluded with routine administrative approvals and adjournment at 12:16 p.m.
