Somers Town May Receive $1.8 Million Brownfield Grant Pellegrini said if the grant application is awarded, the town would take ownership of the mill property, a process that would take approximately six months. Revaluation The Finance Board also reviewed a memo from town Assessor Patricia Juda on the revaluation results. The Grand List, the list of all taxable property in town, is down $26,678,720 from the 2014 Grand List, a 2.86 percent decrease. The revaluation that was postponed last year would have brought a 4.1 percent decrease.

Juda said in the memo these figures only represent real estate, and the actual Grand List will not be finalized until later in the fiscal year. She said in a revenue neutral situation, the impact would be approximately 0.75 mills, meaning
that taxes would have to increase 0.75 mills for the town to bring in the same amount in taxes. A mill represents $1 in tax for every $1,000 of assessed property value.
