Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $40,807 – $136,467, from 12 comparable Commercial 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 Commercial assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $60,270 home should be assessed near $48,535.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $13,165 above what the ratio math suggests (27.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Commercial home
$0.905 Schools · 33% $1.146 County · 42% $0.704 Town · 26%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Commercial sale · assessed ÷ market

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