Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $601,847 – $715,746, from 12 comparable Stanhope 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 Stanhope assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $674,877 home should be assessed near $373,477.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $308,623 above what the ratio math suggests (82.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Stanhope home
$2.600 Schools · 56% $0.686 County · 15% $1.373 Town · 29%
This home's own bill implies $2.196 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
