This is a historical asset that will not be updated. For the most recent mill rate information, please view this dataset: https://data.ct.gov/d/emyx-j53e\n\nA mill rate is the property tax rate set by a local government to determine how much tax is owed on assessed property value. A mill is equal to $1.00 of tax for each $1,000 of assessment.\n\nThe mill rates for each year are based on the grand list from two years prior. For example, the mill rates for the 2026 fiscal year (2025-2026) are based off the October 1, 2024 Grand List.\n\nHow a mill rate is determined: The Board of Finance or Town Council meets to determine what the new budget figure is and will include all municipal salaries, education budget, any equipment and other purchases needed, local services, etc.  Then all other revenues, such as federal and state grants are deducted, leaving the amount that needs to be raised by taxes if there is a deficit.  The mill rate is determined from this amount. The proposed budget and mill rate then go to a Town Meeting (legislative body) where taxpayers can discuss and may vote on the proposed budget and mill rate.\n\nFor questions about this dataset, please contact us here: OPMIGPP@ct.gov", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "describedBy": "https://data.ct.gov/api/views/d6eg-n64y/columns.json", "describedByType": "application/json", "downloadURL": "https://data.ct.gov/api/v3/views/d6eg-n64y/query.json?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/json"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "describedBy": "https://data.ct.gov/api/views/d6eg-n64y/columns.xml", "describedByType": "application/xml", "downloadURL": "https://data.ct.gov/api/v3/views/d6eg-n64y/export.xml?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.ct.gov/api/v3/views/d6eg-n64y/export.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "text/csv"}], "identifier": "https://data.ct.gov/api/views/d6eg-n64y", "issued": "2026-07-31", "keyword": ["connecticut", "ct municipalities", "igp", "mill rates", "opm"], "landingPage": "https://data.ct.gov/d/d6eg-n64y", "modified": "2026-08-03", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "data.ct.gov"}, "theme": ["Local Government"], "title": "Historical Mill Rates by Town (FY 1993-2014)"}
