Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $483,929 – $568,627, from 12 comparable Middlesex 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 Middlesex assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $507,254 home should be assessed near $494,674.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $36,674 below what the ratio math suggests (7.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Middlesex home
$1.137 Schools · 54% $0.340 County · 16% $0.643 Town · 30%
This home's own bill implies $1.927 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

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