Connecticut abolished county government in 1960, so property records are maintained by each of the 169 individual towns. RegWatch aggregates CAMA assessment data, Grand List valuations, town clerk deed records, and building permits into one search — enter any CT address for a complete property profile.
Connecticut's real estate market encompasses 1.07 million properties across 169 towns in 8 geographic counties. The state features some of the most dramatic price variation in the Northeast — from Fairfield County's Gold Coast (Greenwich, Darien, Westport) with multi-million dollar estates to affordable communities in eastern Connecticut.
What makes CT unique is its town-based governance structure. Connecticut abolished county government in 1960, making each of the 169 towns an independent entity for property records, assessments, and permits. There is no county clerk — deeds are recorded at the town clerk, assessments at the town assessor, and permits at the town building department.
This fragmentation makes property research across multiple towns time-consuming. RegWatch aggregates data from across Connecticut into a single search, covering CAMA assessments, Grand List valuations, deed records, and permit histories.
Connecticut's property record system is fundamentally different from New York's or New Jersey's because every function that a county handles elsewhere is handled by individual towns.

The Grand List is Connecticut's annual assessment roll. Each town assessor values every property at 70% of fair market value. This assessed value is then multiplied by the town's mill rate to determine your annual property tax. Grand Lists are published each October 1.
Connecticut abolished county government in 1960, making it one of only two states without functioning county governments. All services that counties provide elsewhere — including property record-keeping, deed recording, and tax assessment — are handled by the 169 individual towns. The 8 county names survive only as geographic designations.
A mill rate is the tax per $1,000 of assessed value. CT mill rates vary wildly by town — from under 15 in affluent Fairfield County towns to over 40 in some urban areas. This means a $500,000 home (assessed at $350,000) could owe $5,250/year in one town or $14,000/year in another. Mill rates are the single biggest factor in CT property tax burden.
PA 490 (Public Act 490) allows CT properties classified as farmland, forest, or open space to be assessed at use-value rather than fair market value — often a fraction of market assessment. The catch: if the classification is removed (by development or sale to a non-qualifying use), the owner owes a conveyance tax penalty covering up to 10 years of tax savings. This can be tens of thousands of dollars.
CAMA (Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal) is the detailed property data collected by town assessors during inspections. It includes building dimensions, construction quality grade, condition, room counts, heating type, garage details, and more. CT has some of the richest CAMA data in the country because of the 5-year revaluation mandate. RegWatch surfaces this data in every property profile.
