Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $777,521 – $854,940, from 12 comparable Edison 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 Edison assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $831,184 home should be assessed near $246,779.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $9,679 below what the ratio math suggests (3.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Edison home
$3.139 Schools · 55% $0.990 County · 17% $1.595 Town · 28%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Edison sale · assessed ÷ market

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