Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $589,875 – $775,091, 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 $696,531 home should be assessed near $685,038.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $266,638 below what the ratio math suggests (38.9%).
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 $1.565 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

Keep quiet and enjoy it
This home's assessment ratio sits below the Middletown pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
