Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $783,292 – $972,032, from 12 comparable Bridgewater 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 Bridgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $913,296 home should be assessed near $792,010.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $40,110 below what the ratio math suggests (5.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bridgewater home
$1.294 Schools · 68% $0.364 County · 19% $0.244 Town · 13%
This home's own bill implies $1.822 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Bridgewater sale · assessed ÷ market

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