The Grant List is official.
According to town assessor Paul Friia, the net 2022 Grand List of $11,312,004,303 represents an increase of approximately 1.9 percent from the 2021 valuation.
The Grand List is the sum of the net assessed value of all taxable property – real estate, motor vehicles and personal property. Motor vehicles and personal property are valued annually. Real estate is updated based on the market values determined as of the town’s last revaluation date (October 1, 2020).
Homes like this one near Compo Beach — which sold for $11.4 million — keep Westport’s Grand List high.
All 3 categories showed increases.
The 1.4 percent increase in real estate assessment results from continued residential and commercial new construction, plus renovation activity.
Construction continues on 32 condominiums at 41 Richmondville Avenue, and 12 at 60 Wilton Road.
In addition, improvements to buildings on Main Street and the construction of approximately 66 new homes contributed to the increases in the 2022 real estate Grand List.
Personal Property increased approximately 14 percent, suggesting a reinvestment in local new and existing businesses to include equipment and leasehold improvements.
Motor Vehicles increased a total of 4.7 percent. Although less of an increase than the previous year, Friia says it reflects a return to a more typical market.
The current adjusted 2022 Grand List totals are:
| Assessment | 2022 | % of List |
| Real Estate | 10,447,786,476 | 92.36 |
| Motor Vehicle | 486,524,740 | 4.30 |
| Personal Property | 377,693,087 | 3.34 |
| TOTAL | 11,312,004,303 | 100% |
