Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $2,706,490 – $4,754,527, from 12 comparable Alpine 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 Alpine assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $3,854,918 home should be assessed near $3,709,973.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $465,773 below what the ratio math suggests (12.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Alpine home
$0.382 Schools · 46% $0.246 County · 29% $0.209 Town · 25%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Alpine sale · assessed ÷ market

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