MERIDEN — The city's grand list grew by 1.47% during fiscal year 2022 to just over $4.086 billion, according to city officials. City Assessor Melinda Fonda, in a March 2 memo to City Manager Timothy Coon, provided an overview of the drivers behind the increase. Fonda noted that her office inspected more than 2,600 properties during 2022. As a result of those inspections, the real estate portion of the grand list increased by more than $22.2 million. 'However, this increase was absorbed by the additions to the tax exempt portion of the grand list and application of property exemptions,' Fonda wrote, adding that as a result of those exemptions, the real estate portion of the grand list actually declined by 0.
