The dataset has combined the Parcels and Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) data for 2023 into a single dataset. This dataset is designed to make it easier for stakeholders and the GIS community to use and access the information as a geospatial dataset. Included in this dataset are geometries for all 169 municipalities and attribution from the CAMA data for all but one municipality. Pursuant to Section 7-100l of the Connecticut General Statutes, each municipality is required to transmit a digital parcel file and an accompanying assessor’s database file (known as a CAMA report), to its respective regional council of governments (COG) by May 1 annually. 

These data were gathered from the CT municipalities by the COGs and then submitted to CT OPM. This dataset was created on 12/08/2023 from data collected in 2022-2023. Data was processed using Python scripts and ArcGIS Pro, ensuring standardization and integration of the data.

CAMA Notes:

The CAMA underwent several steps to standardize and consolidate the information. Python scripts were used to concatenate fields and create a unique identifier for each entry. The resulting dataset contains 1,353,595 entries and information on property assessments and other relevant attributes.

  • CAMA was provided by the towns.

  • Canaan parcels are viewable, but no additional information is available since no CAMA data was submitted.

Spatial Data Notes:

Data processing involved merging the parcels from different municipalities using ArcGIS Pro and Python. The resulting dataset contains 1,247,506 parcels.

  • No alteration has been made to the spatial geometry of the data.

  • Fields that are associated with CAMA data were provided by towns.

  • The data fields that have information from the CAMA were sourced from the towns’ CAMA data.

  • If no field for the parcels was provided for linking back to the CAMA by the town a new field within the original data was selected if it had a match rate above 50%, that joined back to the CAMA.

  • Linking fields were renamed to "Link".

  • All linking fields had a census town code added to the beginning of the value to create a unique identifier per town.

  • Any field that was not town name, Location, Editor, Edit Date, or a field associated back to the CAMA, was not used in the creation of this Dataset.

  • Only the fields related to town name, location, editor, edit date, and link fields associated with the towns’ CAMA were included in the creation of this dataset. Any other field provided in the original data was deleted or not used.

  • Field names for town (Muni, Municipality) were renamed to "Town Name".

Pursuant to C.G.S. section 4-71b, the Office of Policy and Management annually posts estimated grant amounts for certain ongoing grant programs under which the State of Connecticut’s payments to municipalities are determined by statutory formulas or payment lists.
This dataset contains estimated grant amounts for fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025 under current enacted law. Audit adjustments, timing of payments, application of statutory penalties, revised grant calculations, or the receipt of more current data can materially impact actual payments.
* December 11, 2023 update
A new dataset has been uploaded to resolve the following errors:
1. Grant payment data was previously omitted for 52 special tax districts in Municipal Grants-in-Aid.
2. FY 2023 Municipal Stabilization grant to Canaan FD was previously labeled in error as a Supplemental Revenue Sharing grant.

Census tracts designated as Opportunity Zones. Qualified census tracts are those that have a poverty rate of at least 20 percent of a median income that does not exceed 80 percent of the area median income. The opportunity fund model encourages investors to pool their resources in opportunity zones, increasing the scale of investments going to underserved areas. The program provides a federal tax incentive for investors to re-invest unrealized capital gains into opportunity zones through opportunity funds. Under the terms of the program, the governor of each state must submit a plan to the federal government designating up to 25 percent of the qualified census tracts in their state as opportunity zones, which is then subject to approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.

Dataset
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.
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.
STEAP election is not available for Ansonia, Bridgeport, Bristol, Danbury, East Hartford, Enfield, Groton, Hartford, Killingly, Manchester, Meriden, Middletown, New Britain, New Haven, New London, Norwalk, Norwich, Stamford, Torrington, Vernon, Waterbury, West Hartford, West Haven, and Windham.
Pursuant to CGS §7-545, the following municipalities are also Public Investment Communities:

Dataset
This dataset contains data for 2014-2019 sourced from the State of Connecticut Uniform Chart of Accounts (UCOA). This system enables the annual collection of unaudited municipal trial balance data at the local account level, along with a mapping, or “cross walk” of that data to a standard, uniform chart of accounts for comparative purposes. This data is collected and stored in a system of databases developed for the Office of Policy and Management (OPM), including a Data Warehouse of financial balances. These balances are recorded at the account level and contain both local and uniform account metadata.
