Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $422,515 – $618,972, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,728 sq ft.
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 $465,629 home should be assessed near $246,551.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $54,349 above what the ratio math suggests (22.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Berkeley home
$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
This home's own bill implies $2.358 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Berkeley sale · assessed ÷ market

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