Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $371,767 – $420,000, from 12 comparable Independence sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,610 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Independence assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $408,000 home should be assessed near $241,658.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $41,558 below what the ratio math suggests (17.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Independence home
$2.295 Schools · 60% $0.873 County · 23% $0.627 Town · 17%

This home vs. every recent Independence sale · assessed ÷ market
