Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $493,726 – $718,554, from 12 comparable Wharton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Wharton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $624,000 home should be assessed near $576,950.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $116,450 below what the ratio math suggests (20.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Wharton home
$1.736 Schools · 67% $0.250 County · 10% $0.620 Town · 24%
This home's own bill implies $2.519 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Wharton's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
