DARIEN The town’s grand list is up 0.68 percent despite the pandemic’s impact on many economic factors.
The Oct. 1 net grand list reflects a 70 percent assessed value of $8,635,984,905, which is an increase of $58,956,203 over the 2019 grand list. The list is before any actions from the Board of Assessment Appeals.
The grand list establishes the town’s tax base, allowing leadership to make budget decisions based on the town’s anticipated property tax income and, in turn, impacting the the mill rate. Assessed values are typically 70 percent of the appraised value and are not necessarily indicative of market value.
