As of now they have a little over 100k VRFs. Those are almost all scanned and uploaded to the database by now.
So for each 'region' in TnT (goes by county) there are a few tens of thousands, save for the sparsely populated ones like Mayaro. The selection process for who gets called, for now is random as it just start. So they might do 3 on your street and none on the street next to you for a few weeks well.

This info. goes to BIR to do the financial aspect which will be mailed out with the payment options. This is what I was told. No questions were asked about security systems etc.

You got the PIN# for your file? It wouldve been on the receipt for the VRF when you submitted. They supposed to provide you with the pin during the site visit, as of recently so I hear they sometimes forget. Is a unique 10 digit number which is basically the property's file# in the database, so if you have queries or changes you want them to make, the pin makes it easier to find.
If you didnt get it then call on monday

Kamla promising to axe property tax again
Anna Ramdass
Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has promised to repeal the controversial property tax law the day her government returns to office.
“I am saying to the Government that this property tax in the way you have formulated it to be, we voted against it. You went with your simple majority – I am saying tonight – the day we form the government again we will repeal the property tax,” said Persad-Bissessar.
