Learn moreA below-average effective rate on high values
Ridgefield's real FY2026-27 mill rate of 28.36 computes to a mill-rate-derived effective property tax rate of approximately 1.99% -- below Connecticut's own elevated ~3.05% statewide median, though real dollar tax bills still run high given Ridgefield's genuinely higher home values (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).
Connecticut's statewide insurance climate
No Ridgefield-specific homeowners-insurance figure was found this pass; Connecticut's statewide average premium is forecast at approximately $2,252/year for 2026, though Ridgefield's higher home values plausibly push actual dollar premiums above this average (base record).
