Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $314,513 – $819,021, from 12 comparable Stafford 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 Stafford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $415,278 home should be assessed near $215,322.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $124,078 above what the ratio math suggests (57.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Stafford home
$1.048 Schools · 40% $0.603 County · 23% $0.972 Town · 37%
This home's own bill implies $1.168 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

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