Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $521,258 – $741,727, from 12 comparable Union 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 Union assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $569,059 home should be assessed near $493,147.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $26,347 below what the ratio math suggests (5.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Union home
$1.570 Schools · 72% $0.386 County · 18% $0.239 Town · 11%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Union sale · assessed ÷ market

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