Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $720,627 – $858,760, from 12 comparable Emerson 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 Emerson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $780,106 home should be assessed near $518,614.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $123,214 below what the ratio math suggests (23.8%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Emerson home
$2.044 Schools · 60% $0.329 County · 10% $1.046 Town · 31%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Emerson sale · assessed ÷ market

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