Tolland County, CT Property Records & Statistics
Tolland County renters pay a median of $1,249 a month, which is below the Connecticut figure of $1,305.50 but well above the national median of $840.25. Only 14.62% of occupied homes in the county are renter-occupied, compared with 20.66% statewide and 21.81% nationally, so this is a county where most households own the home they live in.
Owners face higher values and heavier taxes than in much of the state. The median home value is $329,250, a little above Connecticut's $322,500 and almost double the national $173,750. The median property tax rate of 2.07% exceeds the state rate of 1.74% and is nearly three times the national 0.74%, so carrying costs are a meaningful part of owning here.
Incomes help offset those costs. Median household income is $110,774, ahead of $101,854 in Connecticut and $65,108 nationally. The unemployment rate of 1.94% is lower than the state's 3.09% and the national 2.87%, pointing to a steady job market.
Taken together, the figures describe an owner-heavy county with high home values, high property tax rates, strong incomes and very low unemployment, with rents that sit slightly under the state average.

Assignment and Release Records
Assignment and release records show what happened to a mortgage after it was first recorded. An assignment documents the transfer of a mortgage from one lender or servicer to another, and a release documents that the loan was paid off and the lien lifted from the property.
Tolland County has 145,438 assignment and release records. They are made up of 16,225 assignment documents, recorded from February 1, 2001, to August 13, 2025, and 129,213 release documents, recorded from February 6, 2000, to August 15, 2025.
Because releases are so much more numerous than assignments, these records are especially handy for confirming that old loans on a property were cleared. Buyers, title researchers and owners can also trace a loan as it passed between holders and spot a mortgage that may still be open before a sale or refinance. Recorded documents are searched through the town clerk offices listed in the search guide below.
