Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $128,872 – $240,395, from 12 comparable Gloucester City 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 Gloucester City assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $218,959 home should be assessed near $124,369.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $22,769 below what the ratio math suggests (18.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Gloucester City home
$1.323 Schools · 25% $0.921 County · 17% $3.048 Town · 58%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Gloucester City sale · assessed ÷ market

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