Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $920,785 – $1,883,797, from 12 comparable Upper 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 Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,216,177 home should be assessed near $688,964.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,872,436 above what the ratio math suggests (271.8%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Upper home
$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
