Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,368,723 – $1,607,241, from 12 comparable Montgomery 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 Montgomery assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,465,324 home should be assessed near $824,098.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $58,798 below what the ratio math suggests (7.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Montgomery home
$2.335 Schools · 68% $0.583 County · 17% $0.519 Town · 15%
Step 5 · The bill

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