Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $332,547 – $443,372, from 12 comparable Middle 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 Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $425,037 home should be assessed near $272,406.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $45,206 below what the ratio math suggests (16.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Middle home
$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%
This home's own bill implies $2.052 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Middle sale · assessed ÷ market

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