Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $416,667 – $531,309, from 12 comparable Jefferson sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,600 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Jefferson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $498,590 home should be assessed near $347,617.
