Property Valuation
A Connecticut property has a market value of $580,000 and is assessed at 70%. The assessment is $406,000. If the mill rate is 29, what is the monthly tax escrow amount?
A$981.83
B$982.17✓ Correct
C$1,055.00
D$1,178.17
Explanation
Annual tax = $406,000 × 0.029 = $11,774. Monthly escrow = $11,774 ÷ 12 = $981.17 ≈ $982.17. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $580,000 and $406,000 at 70%.. The correct answer is $982.17.. This is a common calculation on the Connecticut real estate exam.
