What this means
- Connecticut taxes property at 70% of its appraised market value: the assessment $324,500 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 close to the median for this use in Essex ($333,100, 2,081 parcels).
- The last sale price is 3% above the appraisal.
- Built before 1978: lead paint may be present; Connecticut law requires disclosure to a buyer or tenant.
