Shelton Grand Up 0.5 percent

Shelton’s grand list increased slightly this year, according to numbers released Thursday by the assessor’s office.

The list, which combines the assessed value of all taxable property in the city and is used to set the property tax rate, has a value of $4.49 billion.

That’s up $21.8 million, or 0.5 percent, from the previous year.

Last year the grand list dropped more than $760 million, or about 15 percent, largely due to the city undergoing a property revaluation.

This is how the grand list breaks down:

  • Real estate, $3.84 billion, up 0.6 percent, or $22.5 million
  • Personal property, $341 million, up 0.5 percent, or $1.7 million
  • Motor vehicles, $305.9 million, down 0.8 percent, or $2.4 million.
