Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $296,761 – $410,331, from 12 comparable Jackson sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,241 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Jackson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $315,000 home should be assessed near $313,110.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $70,390 above what the ratio math suggests (22.5%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Jackson home
$0.781 Schools · 56% $0.320 County · 23% $0.284 Town · 21%
