Connecticut Property Tax Guide

Property tax in Connecticut runs high, averaging about 1.36% of a home's value statewide, roughly one and a half times the national average near 0.9%. There is no statewide property tax. Each city and town assesses property and sends the bill, which is why two neighboring towns can charge very different amounts on otherwise identical houses.

The math runs through a mill rate. Towns assess property at 70% of fair market value, then apply their mill rate, where one mill equals one dollar of tax per $1,000 of assessed value. To estimate a bill, take 70% of your home's value, divide by 1,000, and multiply by the town's mill rate. Connecticut offers relief programs, including exemptions for veterans, the blind, and qualifying elderly or disabled homeowners, along with a separate property tax on motor vehicles that towns also levy.

Connecticut Property Tax FAQ

What is the average property tax rate in Connecticut?
The average effective rate is about 1.36% of home value, roughly one and a half times the national average of about 0.9%. Actual bills vary widely by town because each municipality sets its own mill rate, so a higher-rate town can charge far more than a lower-rate one on the same house.
How do I estimate my Connecticut property tax bill?
Multiply your home's market value by 70% to get the assessed value, divide that by 1,000, and multiply by your town's mill rate. For example, a $300,000 home assesses at $210,000, and at a 30-mill rate the tax would be about $6,300 before any exemptions.
Who bills property tax in Connecticut?
Cities and towns do. Connecticut has no statewide property tax and no county government collecting it, so the local assessor values your property and the town tax collector sends the bill. Rates and revaluation schedules are set at the municipal level.
Does Connecticut offer property tax relief for homeowners?
Yes. The state and towns provide exemptions and credit programs for groups such as veterans, blind residents, and qualifying elderly or disabled homeowners with limited income. Eligibility and amounts are handled locally, so homeowners apply through their town assessor's office.
