A property tax rate above the Connecticut statewide average

Vernon's own FY2025-26 mill rate of 36.09 implies an effective property tax rate near 2.53%, above Connecticut's own already-elevated statewide average of approximately 1.81% (base record).

Connecticut's real, graduated income tax

Connecticut's top individual income tax rate runs a real, current 6.99% under a seven-bracket graduated structure. Social Security is genuinely exempt from Connecticut income tax for single filers with AGI under $75,000 and joint filers under $100,000 -- directly relevant given Vernon's own above-threshold senior share (base record).

A statewide homeowners-insurance climate

No Vernon-specific homeowners-insurance figure was found this pass; Connecticut's statewide average premium ran approximately $2,252/year, well below a national average of approximately $5,874/year (base record).
