Details
City of Hartford FY2025 (tax year 2024) certified mill rate — 68.95 mills, the town's single unified levy (no separate school levy). NOTE: Hartford assesses residential property at a city-specific ratio well below the statutory 70% (a long-standing Hartford assessment quirk), so the effective residential burden is substantially below what the headline 68.95 implies.
