Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $140,000 – $445,000, from 11 comparable Downe sales in the past 18 months.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Downe assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $230,000 home should be assessed near $180,320.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $69,680 above what the ratio math suggests (38.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Downe home
$1.454 Schools · 50% $1.070 County · 37% $0.407 Town · 14%
This home's own bill implies $4.261 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Downe sale · assessed ÷ market

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