Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $563,732 – $807,851, 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 $626,902 home should be assessed near $616,558.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $256,958 below what the ratio math suggests (41.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Middletown home
$0.990 Schools · 61% $0.195 County · 12% $0.429 Town · 27%

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.
