Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $453,171 – $596,905, from 12 comparable Dover 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 Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $508,886 home should be assessed near $312,354.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $66,654 below what the ratio math suggests (21.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Dover home
$1.500 Schools · 43% $0.346 County · 10% $1.643 Town · 47%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Dover sale · assessed ÷ market

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