- Connecticut taxes property at 70% of its appraised market value: the assessment $608,700 times the town mill rate gives the yearly tax.
- Essex last revalued in 2026. Towns revalue every five years; between two revaluations the appraisal stays the same even if the market moves.
- Assessed 83% above the median for this use in Essex ($333,100, 2,081 parcels).
- The last sale price is 5% below the appraisal.
- Built before 1978: lead paint may be present; Connecticut law requires disclosure to a buyer or tenant.
