AINQ computer printouts contain the most current assessment information for any given Property Index Number. The first page of the printout contains a summary of assessment values for the current year and the two years prior to the current. This page also contains information about the current exemptions on the parcel. The following pages contain a detailed listing of all improvements on the parcel and their individual values. It is important to note that current year assessment information for a given town is not displayed on the computer until assessment notices for that town have been mailed.

When ordering an AINQ printout, it is imperative the requestor indicate if they want AINQ assessment summary (page 1 only) or all AINQ pages which include assessment summary and detail information. (Note: Residential properties will also include property characteristic data.) Orders should include the Property Index Number(s) (in numerical order if possible), volume and township.

Note: If this is a Unique Letter Property the record may be unavailable, if the town in which the property is located has not yet been certified by the Assessor.

Unique Letter Properties are those certain properties in which a letter request for pre-valuation information and documentation is substituted for the initial Notice of Proposed Assessed Valuation. The property owner is given an opportunity to file a complaint with the requested documentation setting forth the property owner’s estimate of market value.

ASIQ printouts are available for prior years (to 1986).
