Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $391,542 – $479,375, from 12 comparable Stafford sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,416 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Stafford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $442,721 home should be assessed near $229,551.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $173,549 above what the ratio math suggests (75.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Stafford home
$1.048 Schools · 40% $0.603 County · 23% $0.972 Town · 37%
This home's own bill implies $1.292 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
