Step 1 · Market value

Likely range $357,183 – $559,547, from 12 comparable Hillside 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 Hillside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $471,743 home should be assessed near $114,775.

Step 3 · Assessed value

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $11,375 below what the ratio math suggests (9.9%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hillside home

$3.447 Schools · 39% $1.407 County · 16% $4.044 Town · 45%

This home's own bill implies $8.657 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
