Different numbers describe a home here on purpose. The appraised figure is the town's own: the town's full-value figure; CT taxes 70% of it. Too few recorded sales in the 2021-2022 window to state a reliable town median, so we don't. Town numbers frame the market. They cannot price your house.

Zoning draws an invisible buildable envelope on every parcel: setbacks, coverage and height rules that decide what an addition, a second story or an accessory unit can be. Parts of many towns also sit inside wetland buffers and flood zones, where soil-disturbing projects get extra review before permits move.
