Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $84,886 – $169,266, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 984 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $123,000 home should be assessed near $61,279.

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $6,121 above what the ratio math suggests (10.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Salem home
$2.297 Schools · 27% $2.023 County · 23% $4.308 Town · 50%
