VA loans in Groton.
Connecticut's FHFA figures use the Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region, a county-equivalent planning region. It is a statistical geography, not a taxing government: assessments, tax bills and permits described below are handled by the Town of Groton offices cited here; confirm with the Town which local offices serve a specific address.

What the county figure means here.
A borrower with full VA entitlement does not have a VA loan limit, subject to lender approval, ability to repay, and the appraised value or purchase price. The FHFA one-unit county conforming loan limit matters primarily when calculating remaining bonus entitlement for a borrower who does not have full entitlement, and it may affect whether a down payment is required.
Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region carries a $832,750 one-unit conforming loan limit value for 2026. It is used in remaining-entitlement calculations — including on a 2–4 unit property, where the one-unit value is still the figure used — and it is not a cap on what a fully-entitled Groton buyer can finance.

Estimate a payment with your own rate assumptionTown of Groton revaluation: sold homes and recent permits are the ones most likely to be inspected
The Town of Groton's Assessment Division maintains the Grand List and administers the Town's exemption and abatement programs. Its revaluation FAQ explains that during a revaluation, staff physically inspect the interior and exterior of sold properties, properties with building permits, and properties whose returned data mailers call for a correction. Appraisers study recent sales to build valuation models that are then applied to homes that did not sell.
The Town stresses that a revaluation is meant to redistribute the tax burden equitably, not to raise taxes. Practical step: after buying in Groton, expect the Assessment Division may want to verify your home's data. Check the Grand List record for errors, such as room counts or finished space, and ask the division about any exemption you may qualify for.
Groton permits, inspections and public-information requests run through Citizen Self Service
The Town of Groton's Planning & Development page says permits, plans, inspections and public information requests are submitted and tracked in its Citizen Self Service (CSS) portal. After a one-time registration with a single notification email address, users can see application and permit status, request inspections and pay fees online. No software installation is needed.
Practical step: before closing, use CSS to file a public information request for the address's permit and inspection history, especially if the seller reports additions, a finished basement or major system replacements. If a record is missing or incomplete, contact the Planning & Development staff listed on the page rather than assuming no permit was needed.
