Naugatuck Mill Rate Among Highest in State
The highest mill rate in the state is more than seven times the lowest.

This week’s list counts down the 16 highest mill rates in Connecticut, ranging from 34.99 to a high of 74.29 at No. 1.
The list does not include boroughs, fire or special tax districts in the mill rates, but when you factor in Naugatuck's current mill rate of 44.8, the borough is in the top 3 in the state.
A few small-to-medium towns made the list, though most of the highest mill rates were found in Connecticut’s cities and larger towns.
