This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Upper's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

≈ $471,527

Likely range $413,904 – $508,231, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $471,527 home should be assessed near $267,120.

$232,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $35,020 below what the ratio math suggests (13.1%).
