Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $2,423,894 – $2,953,404, from 12 comparable Avalon 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 Avalon assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $2,567,861 home should be assessed near $1,393,835.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $345,435 below what the ratio math suggests (24.8%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Avalon home
$0.032 Schools · 5% $0.313 County · 52% $0.262 Town · 43%
Step 5 · The bill

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