New Hartford is a Farmington River town in Litchfield County, just past Canton on Route 44. I've closed 3 New Hartford transactions, including a condo where I represented both the buyer and the seller. Here's what to know about its villages, regional schools, taxes and river-town properties.

New Hartford has several distinct areas, including:
Homes near the river have more character but need a flood-zone check. Tell me the streets you're watching and I'll send you what's sold there lately.
New Hartford runs its own elementary schools (New Hartford Elementary, Bakerville Consolidated and Ann Antolini School). Students then attend Northwestern Regional Middle School (grades 7-8) and Northwestern Regional High School in Winsted, part of Regional School District No. 7 with Barkhamsted, Colebrook and Norfolk. Use EdSight for school data.

For homes near the Farmington River, check FEMA flood maps and ask about flood insurance before you offer. Many outlying homes have wells and septic systems, so plan for testing. Some New Hartford properties pay a village or South End fire district rate on top of the town rate (OPM). If you want a little more Valley convenience, compare with Canton and Burlington. Coming from West Hartford? You'll trade a longer drive for lower taxes and more land.
For fiscal year 2026-27, New Hartford's mill rate is 27.57 for real estate and personal property and 27.57 for motor vehicles, according to the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management (OPM). As a rough example, a home assessed at $331,000 (70% of $473,103) would owe about $9,100 a year in town property tax, before any fire or tax district charges.
New Hartford students in grades 7-12 attend Northwestern Regional School District No. 7 in Winsted.
No. New Hartford is in Litchfield County, just west of Canton.
