Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $342,476 – $384,553, from 12 comparable Berkeley 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 Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $360,617 home should be assessed near $190,947.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $64,353 above what the ratio math suggests (33.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Berkeley home
$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
Step 5 · The bill

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
