Your property taxes in Connecticut could go up… even if the tax rate goes down.
From the New Door Realty video archive, originally published April 21, 2026. Market figures, listing status, and event details reflect the original video date.
Here’s why: in towns going through revaluation (Stratford is a great example), some home values jumped dramatically — so even if the mill rate drops, your tax bill can still rise because you’re being taxed on a higher value.
That’s why you’re hearing about a homestead exemption idea in CT — a way for towns to potentially reduce the taxable value of an owner-occupied primary residence (so you’re taxed on less, not the full value).
But here’s the catch: it’s still rolling out/being figured out, and not every town is handling it the same way.
DM “TAXES” and I’ll tell you what your town is actually doing.
