Public Investment Community Index

The Office of Policy and Management (OPM) prepares the Public Investment Community (PIC) index not later than July 15 annually, pursuant to §7-545 of the Connecticut General Statutes (CGS).

The PIC index measures the relative wealth and need of Connecticut’s towns by ranking them in descending order by their cumulative point allocations for: (1) per capita income; (2) adjusted equalized net grand list per capita; (3) equalized mill rate; (4) per capita aid to children receiving Temporary Family Assistance program benefits; and (5) unemployment rate.

Pursuant to CGS §7-545 the PIC index includes each town that has a cumulative point ranking in the top quartile of the PIC Index (i.e. the 42 towns with the highest number of points).  When a town’s ranking falls below the top quartile in a given fiscal year, the town's designation as a Public Investment Community continues for that year and the following four fiscal years.  As a result, the PIC index includes certain towns carried over from previous fiscal years (indicated in the data as "grandfathered").

The PIC index determines eligibility for several financial assistance programs that various agencies administer, including:

-Urban Action Bond Assistance
-Small Town Economic Assistance Program
-Community Economic Development Program
-Residential Mortgage Guarantee Program
-Education Cost Sharing
-Malpractice Insurance Purchase Program
-Connecticut Manufacturing Innovation Fund
-Enterprise Corridor Zone Designation

Most of the towns included on the PIC index are eligible to elect for assistance under the Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) in lieu of Urban Action Bond assistance, pursuant to CGS §4-66g(b).  An eligible town’s legislative body (or its board of selectmen if the town’s legislative body is the town meeting) must vote to choose STEAP assistance and the town must notify OPM following the vote. STEAP election is valid for four years and the statute allows extensions for additional four-year periods.

Mill Rates for FY 2014-2026

A mill is equal to $1.00 of tax for each $1,000 of assessment. To calculate the property tax, multiply the assessment of the property by the mill rate and divide by 1,000. For example, a property with an assessed value of $50,000 located in a municipality with a mill rate of 20 mills would have a property tax bill of $1,000 per year.

The rates for each year are based on the grand list from two years prior. For example, the mill rates for the 2021 fiscal year are based off the 2019 grand list.

Starting in FY 2017, legislation allows municipalities and special taxing districts to tax motor vehicles at a different rate than other taxable property, but it imposes a cap on the mill rate for motor vehicles. No district or borough may set a motor vehicle mill rate that if combined with the motor vehicle mill rate of the town, city, consolidated town and city or consolidated town and borough in which such district or borough is located would result in a combined motor vehicle mill rate above the cap.

Municipal Spending Cap Report

This dataset includes municipal spending cap data used for the calculation of municipal revenue sharing grant amounts from 2018 through the most recent reporting year.

Subsection (f) of Connecticut General Statute Sec. 4-66l establishes a municipal expenditure cap that is the greater of the inflation rate or 2.5% or more of the prior fiscal year’s adopted budget expenditures, including expenditures from a municipality's general fund.

Municipalities that increase their adopted budget expenditures over the previous fiscal year by an amount that exceeds this cap receive a reduced revenue sharing grant. The reduction is equal to 50 cents for every dollar the municipality spends over the cap.

Municipalities must annually certify to the OPM secretary, on an OPM-prescribed form, whether they have exceeded the spending cap and, if so, by how much.

More information may be found here: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2024/sup/chap_050.htm#sec_4-66l

Data are collected in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes, section 10-261a and 10-261b: https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_172.htm#sec_10-261a and https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_172.htm#sec_10-261b.

Soils

This data set is a
digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic
data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was
prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric
correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely
sensed and other information. This data set consists of georeferenced digital
map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey
area extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils
and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the
landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. This layer
displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping scale,
but they are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use
and management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the National
Soil Information System relational database, which gives the proportionate
extent of the component soils and their properties. <a href='https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm</a>
