Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $454,790 – $616,763, from 12 comparable Stafford 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 Stafford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $503,571 home should be assessed near $261,102.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $162,698 above what the ratio math suggests (62.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Stafford home
$1.048 Schools · 40% $0.603 County · 23% $0.972 Town · 37%
This home's own bill implies $1.149 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
