Property taxes in Connecticut
Connecticut's effective property-tax rate is about 2.15% of a home's value each year — higher than the U.S. average of 1.1%. On the state's median home price of $380,000, that works out to roughly $8,170/year ($681/month) added to your payment.

Buying a home in Connecticut
At a median price of $380,000, homes in Connecticut are about 10% more affordable than the U.S. median of $420,000. On a typical purchase with 20% down on a 30-year loan around 6.5%, the principal and interest comes to roughly $1,921/month. Adding Connecticut's property tax of about $681/month brings the housing cost to around $2,602/month before homeowners insurance, any HOA dues and — if you put down less than 20% — PMI. Because Connecticut's effective property-tax rate (2.15%) is above the national average, taxes here weigh more heavily on your monthly budget than in most states. Use the calculator above to swap in your own price, down payment and rate, and the local tax figure will adjust the total for you.
