Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $150,000 – $282,500, from 12 comparable Fairfield sales in the past 18 months.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Fairfield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $175,000 home should be assessed near $145,828.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,928 below what the ratio math suggests (21.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Fairfield home
$1.447 Schools · 49% $1.029 County · 35% $0.495 Town · 17%
Step 5 · The bill

Paying about right
