Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $753,742 – $1,037,072, from 12 comparable Morris 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 Morris assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $903,942 home should be assessed near $659,697.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $138,497 below what the ratio math suggests (21.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Morris home
$1.147 Schools · 58% $0.303 County · 15% $0.517 Town · 26%
This home's own bill implies $1.774 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Morris sale · assessed ÷ market

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