Robert D. Iannucci

Robert D. Iannucci is a tax attorney based in Cheshire, Connecticut, with a practice focused on helping property owners navigate the state's complex assessment and appeals process. He works with residential and commercial clients who believe their properties have been overvalued by local assessors, guiding them through formal challenges at the board of assessment appeals and, when necessary, in Superior Court. Iannucci's background in Connecticut tax law gives him a working knowledge of how municipal assessors arrive at their valuations and where those calculations tend to go wrong. His clients range from individual homeowners disputing a modest overassessment to small business owners dealing with inflated commercial property values. He takes a straightforward approach: review the numbers, find the gap, and build a case that holds up.

Robert D. Iannucci's practice covers the full range of property tax relief services available to Connecticut property owners. His core service is representing clients at the Board of Assessment Appeals, the first formal step in contesting an assessed value. He prepares and files the necessary paperwork, gathers comparable sales data and independent appraisal support, and appears on behalf of clients at hearings. For assessments that can't be resolved at the board level, he handles Superior Court appeals under Connecticut General Statutes Section 12-117a. This involves more formal discovery, expert witnesses, and legal briefs, but it's sometimes the only path to a meaningful reduction on high-value or complex properties. He also advises clients on the timing of assessments, including revaluation years when entire towns reassess all properties simultaneously. During those cycles, errors are common and the window to appeal is short. Iannucci helps clients act quickly and correctly. He also reviews commercial property records for classification errors that can affect tax liability independently of the valuation itself.

The process starts with a review of your property record card and current assessment notice. Iannucci compares your assessed value against recent comparable sales and, if warranted, recommends getting a formal appraisal. He files the appeal with the Board of Assessment Appeals before the deadline, which in Connecticut is typically February 20th for most property owners. At the hearing, he presents the evidence and argues for a reduced assessment. If the board denies the appeal or offers an insufficient reduction, he advises whether a Superior Court appeal makes financial sense given the potential savings versus the added cost. Throughout the process he keeps clients informed without burying them in legal jargon. Most residential cases resolve at the board level. Commercial and high-value residential cases more often require court involvement, and he's prepared for both scenarios.

Iannucci serves property owners throughout Cheshire and the broader New Haven County area, including Waterbury, Meriden, Wallingford, Hamden, and Naugatuck. He also handles appeals in Hartford County towns on a case-by-case basis. Connecticut property owners outside these areas should contact his office directly to discuss whether he can assist with their specific municipality.
