2014-2015 Mill Rates for Fairfield County and Southwestern CT

Property taxes are subject to change each year as of July 1st. 

All Connecticut towns prepare a budget for the year and set a new mill rate for property owners to pay for that budget. If you look at the record of your property as it exists in Town Hall, you will see that your property is appraised at one value, and assessed at another value.

Your new property taxes are determined by multiplying the mill rate by the assessment, which is 70 percent of the appraised value.

Do you love your town? So do we. Please  click on the "F" facebook logo next to your favorite town(s) and give it a "Like".

Just click on the Facebook    to give that town a like on Facebook, or click on the town name for the town's history, biography, stats and demographics. There is also a place to "Like" that town on Facebook there as well, and our Facebook Town pages feature MLS access, local news, our blog posts, as well as up to the minute real estate news.

Conventional 5/1 ARM - 3.375% - APR 3.292%

Conventional 7/1 ARM - 3.75% - APR 3.919%

 

The above rates are based on a loan amount of $417,000 for a single family home, a borrower’s middle credit score of 780 and a 20% down payment.  If you would like a customized rate quote for your own specific loan scenario then please feel free to email me at nima@primeres.com or call me directly at 203.913.6016.
