The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
This home's payments are about right
It sits inside Lawnside's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $247,868 – $424,259, from 12 comparable Lawnside 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 Lawnside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $339,082 home should be assessed near $206,806.

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $16,406 below what the ratio math suggests (7.9%).

$2.467 Schools · 51% $0.943 County · 19% $1.465 Town · 30%
