Questions

Who is the largest landowner in Connecticut?

On county property records, CONNECTICUT STATE OF holds the most land in Connecticut: 145,559 acres across 2,661 parcels in 7 counties.

How much land do the largest landowners in Connecticut hold?

The 50 institutions on this list hold 386,009 acres between them. 32 of them are public bodies, such as the state, cities and agencies.

Why are no individuals on this list?

Deedlines ranks companies, trusts held by companies and government agencies only. A public ranking of private people by the land they own would be a list of where they live, so individuals are never ranked.

Where do these numbers come from?

From the assessor files of 8 Connecticut counties, the same records behind each county's tax roll. Acreage is what the assessor records; a survey can differ, and a company filed under two spellings counts as two names.
