Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $496,184 – $673,047, from 12 comparable Middletown 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 Middletown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $634,029 home should be assessed near $623,568.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $116,668 below what the ratio math suggests (18.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Middletown home
$0.990 Schools · 61% $0.195 County · 12% $0.429 Town · 27%
This home's own bill implies $1.473 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

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