Norwich — The city’s grand list of taxable properties grew by 1.5% in the past year, with a modest increase in real estate values and strong jumps in both motor vehicle and personal property assessments.

The overall city grand list as of Oct. 1, 2019, totaled $2.02 billion, an increase of $29.9 million over the Oct. 1, 2018, totals, city Assessor Donna Ralston reported on Friday, the state deadline for calculating grand list values.

Net real estate values after removing exempt properties totaled $1.65 billion, an increase of $8.1 million, or 0.5%. Commercial values rose by 1.5% and residential values increased by 0.2%, Ralston reported. She attributed part of the real estate value increase to expired tax abatements for some properties, including the Hampton Inn on Route 82 off Interstate 395, which now is taxed at 100% of its value.

Exempt property values totaled $660 million, which dropped by $3.7 million, Ralston said. Some of that was previously exempt properties being sold, including some properties owned by the city, she said.

The city assessor’s office has been pursuing assessments of personal property in recent years, and Ralston cited that effort for the 8.1% increase in personal property values to a total of $162.7 million.

Motor vehicle values totaled $201.4 million, up by 4.96% over the 2018 totals.
