How the 168 rates spread out

How many of Connecticut's 168 municipalities fall in each $5 band of rate per $1,000 of assessed value (the last band includes everything above it). The highlighted band holds the median.

Connecticut taxes by the mill: one mill is $1 per $1,000 of assessed value, and assessments are 70% of value at each town's last revaluation. 103 towns raised their mill rate from FY 2026 to FY 2027 and 47 lowered it; 28 cut it by 15% or more, the size of drop a revaluation produces. 31 towns tax motor vehicles at exactly 32.46 mills, below their real estate rate.

Every Connecticut municipality's FY 2027 rate per $1,000 of assessed value, lowest to highest (168 bars, to scale from $0). The line is the median.

Left out: Canterbury (The FY 2027 row in the state dataset shows a mill rate of 0 (not yet reported); its FY 2026 rate was 16.76 mills); Fire, sewer, utility and tax districts (about 350 rows) (District rates are billed only inside the district, on top of the town rate; the dataset lists them as separate rows and they are not added to any town's rate here).
