Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $876,026 – $1,678,545, from 12 comparable Long Beach 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 Long Beach assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,344,241 home should be assessed near $879,268.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $122,568 below what the ratio math suggests (13.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Long Beach home
$0.253 Schools · 28% $0.439 County · 48% $0.220 Town · 24%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Long Beach sale · assessed ÷ market

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