Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $650,960 – $933,799, from 12 comparable Jefferson 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 Jefferson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $707,045 home should be assessed near $492,952.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,952 below what the ratio math suggests (6.5%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Jefferson home
$1.809 Schools · 60% $0.295 County · 10% $0.899 Town · 30%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Jefferson sale · assessed ÷ market

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