Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $606,607 – $888,749, from 12 comparable Edgewater 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 Edgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $700,084 home should be assessed near $626,505.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $121,295 above what the ratio math suggests (19.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Edgewater home
$0.714 Schools · 43% $0.247 County · 15% $0.683 Town · 42%
This home's own bill implies $1.587 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Edgewater sale · assessed ÷ market

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