Lyme’s property tax records now live in the Avitar Associates database, which replaced the previous Vision system. To look up a property:

1. Go to https://data.avitarassociates.com
2. Log in with username townoflyme and password lymetwn
3. Click the Lyme link
4. At the upper left, click Searches and choose By Owner Name…
5. Find the owner in the list and click their name.

This opens the property’s Tax Card. Check the information in every tab: General, Land, Building, Sketch, Photo, Features and Sale.

Pay special attention to the Notes in the General tab. They describe the features of the property in “assessor-speak”. Make sure they match what’s actually there. Paste the notes below and click Explain to get a plain English version.
