Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $408,317 – $474,000, from 8 comparable Clinton 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 Clinton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $437,544 home should be assessed near $384,382.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $60,382 below what the ratio math suggests (15.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Clinton home
$1.757 Schools · 60% $0.385 County · 13% $0.806 Town · 27%
This home's own bill implies $2.774 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

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