Connecticut Property Tax Mill Rates ~ 2013.

July 25, 2013.

UPDATE ~ 2015 Property Tax Mill Rates for Connecticut & Fairfield County.

In Connecticut the property assessment is equal to 70% of the fair market value of the property as established by the municipal Assessor. The property tax rate is expressed in mills or thousandths of a dollar. A tax rate (mill rate) of 11.74 mills is equivalent to $11.74 of taxes per $1,000 of assessed value.

Each town sets its own mill rate; some municipalities have different mill rates for different districts within that town. Assessment dates for property on the Grand List must be assessed by October 1st of the preceding year. So for property taxes due July 1st, 2013 and January 1, 2014 are determined from assessments computed by the town assessor prior to October 1, 2012. Typically the majority of Connecticut towns, real property taxes are payable for the current tax year on July 1st and January 1st, this is the same as the state’s fiscal year. But in some towns payments are made quarterly so check with town hall first.

Home sellers take note that the Connecticut Real Estate Conveyance Tax has increased 0.25% as of July 1st, 2011, click here to read more.

David - it's interesting how different jurisdictions have different ideas on what value should be taxed, Here in Ontario they use a mass market valuation process every four years to determine their version of "market" value (which seldom equates to the market value that a real estate agent would put on the property). Any increase in the value from the assessment four years earlier is then phased in over the next four years. My web guy hubby has always appealed our assessments and is continuously getting it reduced. assuming no change in the mill rate over the next four years his latest appeal has resulted in a savings of somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000 spread over the next four years

It seems when someone gets a notice that a revaluation is coming, the reaction is always one of higher taxes are coming. I was recently surprised that a property I own actually dropped in assessment. Since I don't have any interest in selling, it is good for me.

Make it a great weekend!
