Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $494,043 – $1,664,648, from 12 comparable Summit 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 Summit assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $967,926 home should be assessed near $298,218.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $79,482 above what the ratio math suggests (26.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Summit home
$2.335 Schools · 52% $1.092 County · 24% $1.043 Town · 23%
Summit also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $4.654 per $100 all-in (+$0.184).
Step 5 · The bill

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