A tree got struck on Rye St. on the corner of Windsorville and Rye. Sheered off the bark and some…Read More was thrown into the road. My moms house is two houses down. Whole house shook and things came off the wall. We thought her house was struck or someone got struck at the park, but it was only a tree thank god.

To get real numbers look at the town's budget document on page 22 at…Read More http://www.southwindsor.org/pages/swindsorct_finance/13-14_budget_draft.pdf.
Real estate is down 13.2%. Personal property is up 10.2%. Motor vehicles are down 0.48%. There was a shift of 2.3% from real estate to personal property and motor vehicles. The motor vehicle change reflects depreciation of used vehicles on the new grand list. Therefore, motor vehicle taxes will be going up over 18% on average. Personal property for businesses will be going up over 28% on average. Unless we focus our efforts on economic development, the town will not be able to sustain its school and general government budgets. Contrary to what others have said, the town will not see the benefit of the recovery in the real estate market until the next revaluation. Growth in the grand list through economic development is the only way to keep the town going. The idea that we are out of the economic downturn is completely irrelevant to the grand list calculations, because the effect of an economic turnaround on property values will not been seen for another five years.

Grand List down 11% in revaluation. Net addition of new property to Grand List last year 1.12% That…Read More means value of existing properites went down 12% in the revaluation.
Property worth $200,000 this year worth $227,273 last year.
Tax on $200,000 assessed value @ 34.9 mills = $6,980.
Tax on $227,273 assessed value @29.43 mills = $6,688.64.
Difference is 4.36% increase.
These are average values. Revaluation affects all properties differently, so individual results vary.
Simple math. No name calling. No argument. Just real numbers. Someone owes me an apology.
