Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $59,469 – $185,161, from 7 comparable Lawrence 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 Lawrence assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $169,484 home should be assessed near $125,435.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $44,335 below what the ratio math suggests (35.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Lawrence home
$1.214 Schools · 41% $1.092 County · 37% $0.671 Town · 23%
Step 5 · The bill

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