Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $380,000 – $739,000, from 12 comparable Somerville sales in the past 18 months.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Somerville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $550,000 home should be assessed near $323,400.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $132,300 below what the ratio math suggests (40.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Somerville home
$2.388 Schools · 59% $0.552 County · 14% $1.138 Town · 28%
