Learn moreA real, disclosed two-town tax split
Mystic has no mill rate of its own; this record uses Groton's own real, already-verified FYE2026 mill rate (24.81, effective ~1.7367%) as a disclosed, Groton-side-only proxy, since Stonington's own current mill rate could not be freshly verified this pass (base record).
Connecticut's real, graduated income tax
Connecticut's top individual income tax rate ran a real, current 6.99%, with Social Security genuinely exempt below AGI thresholds of $75,000 (single) / $100,000 (joint) (base record).
A likely coastal insurance premium
No Mystic-specific homeowners-insurance figure was verified this pass; Connecticut's statewide average premium is forecast at approximately $2,252/year for 2026, though Mystic's genuine coastal exposure plausibly pushes actual premiums higher (base record).
Key takeaways
- Mystic's effective property tax rate depends on Groton-vs-Stonington town assignment; this record uses Groton's real ~1.74% rate as a disclosed proxy.
- Connecticut's 6.99% top income tax rate and Social Security exemption thresholds apply statewide.
- Mystic's coastal setting plausibly pushes insurance premiums above CT's ~$2,252/year statewide average.
