Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $305,708 – $448,917, from 12 comparable Middle 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 Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $362,244 home should be assessed near $232,162.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $36,238 above what the ratio math suggests (15.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Middle home
$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Middle sale · assessed ÷ market

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