Thompson
Connecticut · Most recent sourced sale
Property & tax profile
The median homeowner in Thompson pays $3,822 a year in property tax — below the Connecticut median of $6,643 (U.S.: $3,119). That is roughly what a typical home here owes for each year it goes unpaid — the debt that the opening bid at a deed sale is usually built from, plus interest and costs. Homes with a mortgage pay a median of $3,772; homes owned outright, $3,955.
On a home with a mortgage, the lender has its own reason to pay a delinquent tax bill: the tax lien outranks the mortgage, and a tax deed can wipe out the loan. On a home owned outright, nobody but the owner — or the heirs — has that reason. In Thompson, 32.2% of owner-occupied homes are owned outright (Connecticut: 35.4%, U.S.: 39.4%). That is less than the state as a whole: more of the delinquent bills here sit on mortgaged homes, where the lender often steps in.
6.5% of all housing units in Thompson are vacant. The figure that matters for a buyer at the tax sale is the Census “other vacant” category — not for rent, not for sale, not a holiday home, but a catch-all that includes foreclosures, homes held up by legal proceedings or family reasons, homes needing repairs, and abandoned ones. Here it is 3.3% of all units (Connecticut: 2.7%, U.S.: 3.6%). Close to the state rate.
Half of the homes in Thompson were built in or before 1963 (Connecticut: in or before 1967). The typical tax bill is 4.1% of the median household income of $93,629 (Connecticut: 6.9%).
