The Grand List is the sum of the net assessed value of all taxable property — real estate, motor vehicles, and personal property — in town. The 2015 Grand List's total was $10,876,602,613, compared with $10,092,436,351 for 2014, Westport Assessor Paul Friia announced.
Commercial values increased 10 percent and residential values increased 7.5 percent.
The combined increase in the real estate categories was 8.3 percent, 1 percent of which was due to building permit activity.
Changes in the real estate assessment totals are a result of the recent completion of the town’s revaluation process, Friia said. "The increase indicates the continued strength of the Westport real estate market."
As a percentage of the real estate Grand List, residential property make up 87.4 percent and commercial properties are 12.6 percent. There was no significant shift between these two categories.
