The affluent, suburban enclave seven miles west of downtown Hartford has about 25,000 souls who lay heads there at night, but its daytime population swells to 32,000 — the result of commuters who arrive daily to work at UConn Health, Jackson Laboratory, Carrier, Otis Elevator and Stanley Black & Decker. Farmington’s fiscal 2018 property tax rate of 26.68 mills is among the lowest in the state, and No. 2 after Windsor Locks for the lowest in the Greater Hartford region, according to the state Office of Policy Management’s online mill-rate data.
