Hi,

My landlord is citing rising property taxes as the reason for a rent increase.

Have property taxes risen this year in Fairfield? If so by what %.

Thanks

New mill rates don't go in to effect in Connecticut until August 1 of each tax year. So technically speaking, no, the property tax has not risen this year.

Did the rate go up in Aug 2008?

From 07/01/2007 - 06/30/2008, the mill rate in Fairfield was 17.41. From 07/01/2008 - 06/30/2009, the mill rate in Fairfield is 18.58. This represents a 6.72 percent increase from the previous year assuming the assessment was unchanged.

NOTE: town budgets run from July 1st through June 30th.

Not in Ridgefield. Perhaps there are others, but that municipality immediately came to mind. Quarterly payments.
