Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $709,483 – $852,023, from 12 comparable Hanover 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 Hanover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $796,670 home should be assessed near $552,809.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $150,109 below what the ratio math suggests (27.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hanover home
$1.207 Schools · 59% $0.314 County · 15% $0.529 Town · 26%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Hanover sale · assessed ÷ market

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