Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $468,425 – $576,096, from 12 comparable Byram sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,988 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Byram assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $508,970 home should be assessed near $295,813.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $43,413 below what the ratio math suggests (14.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Byram home
$2.312 Schools · 58% $0.673 County · 17% $1.033 Town · 26%
This home's own bill implies $3.920 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Byram sale · assessed ÷ market

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