The total value of taxable property in New Canaan—including homes, commercial properties and motor vehicles—increased by $85.3 million from 2014 to 2015, officials say.
The $8,222,215,988 total represents a year-over-year 1.0479 percent increase, according to the New Canaan Assessor’s office, which compiles the town’s Grand List.
The Grand List measures the total value of taxable property on Oct. 1 of each calendar year. It’s the denominator that finance officials use to set the tax rate—the higher it is, relative to the total revenue in the town budget, the lower that rate will be.
