Step 1 · Market value

Likely range $748,044 – $922,517, from 12 comparable Bridgewater 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 Bridgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $851,158 home should be assessed near $738,124.

Step 3 · Assessed value

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $24,476 above what the ratio math suggests (3.3%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bridgewater home

$1.294 Schools · 68% $0.364 County · 19% $0.244 Town · 13%
