What this means
- Connecticut taxes property at 70% of its appraised market value: the assessment $211,890 times the town mill rate gives the yearly tax.
- New Haven last revalued in 2021. Towns revalue every five years; between two revaluations the appraisal stays the same even if the market moves.
- Assessed 28% above the median for this use in New Haven ($165,200, 9,179 parcels).
- The last deed was recorded for a nominal sum: a transfer between family members, into a trust or similar. It says nothing about the market value.
- Built before 1978: lead paint may be present; Connecticut law requires disclosure to a buyer or tenant.
