The town catches up with market prices only once a year — and only based on the average change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Dover's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $452,932

Likely range $400,259 – $527,320, from 12 comparable Dover sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.38%

The state's official measure of how far Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $452,932 home should be assessed near $278,010.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$231,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $46,610 below what the ratio math suggests (16.8%).
