Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $242,921 – $347,603, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,083 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 $275,212 home should be assessed near $145,725.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $59,675 above what the ratio math suggests (41.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Berkeley home

A touch high — worth watching
