Wilton’s 2025 Grand List Grows 1.81%, Marking Second Straight Year Of Gains

WILTON, CT — Wilton’s taxable Grand List increased 1.81 percent in 2025, marking the second consecutive year of growth, town officials said.

According to a Town of Wilton news release, the net Grand List totaled $5.88 billion as of Oct. 1, 2025, up about $104.6 million from the prior year. The increase reflects gains across real estate, personal property and motor vehicles.

Hollie Rapp, Wilton’s assessor and tax collector, reported that net real estate assessments rose 1.42 percent to $5.28 billion. Personal property increased 4.55 percent to $346.1 million, while motor vehicle assessments climbed 6.43 percent to $260.3 million.

The Grand List represents the total assessed value of all taxable property in town, including residential and commercial real estate, business personal property and motor vehicles. Officials said growth in the Grand List can help the town generate revenue needed to support the fiscal year 2027 budget and may ease pressure on the mill rate, which determines property taxes per $1,000 of assessed value.

The updated figures come as Wilton officials begin budget discussions for the upcoming fiscal year. A stronger Grand List can help offset budget increases by spreading the tax burden across a larger overall tax base.

First Selectman Toni Boucher credited Rapp for compiling the report and said the continued growth reflects Wilton’s appeal as a place to live and do business.
