The total value of taxable property in town—including homes, commercial properties and motor vehicles—increased about $53.3 million from 2011 to 2012, according to the New Canaan Assessor’s office, which compiles the town’s Grand List.
The .6 percent rise brings the 2012 total in New Canaan to $8.3 billion. The figure is a net total before changes that may emerge following decisions made by the Board of Assessment Appeals.
What follows is a list of the 50 highest-assessed residential properties in New Canaan. Among the 50 (see locator map), 11 are on Oenoke Ridge—the most well-represented town road on the list.
Information comes from the Assessor’s office. It includes the name of registered taxpayers in each case, street address, acreage and total assessed value of the real property.
In some cases, taxpayers are listed as limited liability companies.
Where more than one taxpayer is listed, we are listing the parties in the same order as provided by the Assessor.
