Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $435,075 – $576,502, from 12 comparable Upper 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 Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $486,953 home should be assessed near $275,859.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $45,441 above what the ratio math suggests (16.5%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Upper home
$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Upper sale · assessed ÷ market

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