Connecticut Property Tax Mill Rates, Towns A-C
November 28, 2007
I had hoped to be able to announce a new updated link to the State of Connecticut’s list of property tax mill rates by now. Although I’ve checked the site numerous times, the data is still old- from the 2005 Grand List.
I can’t find a list elsewhere so I’m going to do a series of posts and put the info directly on this site. Eventually, I’ll put the data all together somewhere an make it available.
Here are the most recent mill rates for towns beginning with letters A-C. Call the town hall to verify.
Andover-26.3
Ansonia-32.32
Ashford-33.7
Avon-25.55

HOW CAN ANSONIA CT. MILL RATE BE MORE THAN MONROE CT., TAKE A LOOK AT BOTH TOWNS?????????????

Ansonia’s mill rates can be higher than Monroe simply because a mill rate is calculated based off the town’s budget and the size of the town’s taxable base. The base being the cumulative total of all property values in the town, which are assessed at 70% of value.
The reason why Monroe would typically have a lower mill rate than Ansonia is because the towns are roughly the same size, so they have roughly the same sized budget. However, properties in Monroe are worth more than properties in Ansonia, meaning each property owner in Monroe has to pay a lesser percentage of their property value. The dollar amount will be somewhat similiar. Obviously there are discrepancies because each town passes their own budget.
Let’s say that Ansonia and Monroe both pass town budgets for $100,000,000 (100 M). Well to figure out each town’s mill rate, sum the total property values that are taxable. Let’ say Monroe has a taxable base of $10 Billion (All property values equal approximately 14.3 B). Then the mill rate is 10. This is because 100M/10B = .01. The mill rate is therefore .01 x 1000 = 10. This states that $10 of property taxes is required for every $1000 of property value. A $100,000 house therefore is assessed at $70,000 and will pay $700 in property taxes.
If Ansonia passes the same 100M budget but only has 5B of total property values then the mill rate is 10M/5B = .02. The mill rate is 20.00. Ansonians have to pay twice the amount per $1,000 of value than their Monrovian counterparts.
Note: Hartford’s mill rate has been over 70.
