Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $298,570 – $349,303, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,028 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $330,502 home should be assessed near $187,229.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $8,571 above what the ratio math suggests (4.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Upper home
$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Upper sale · assessed ÷ market

Paying about right
