Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $294,520 – $319,910, from 12 comparable Jackson sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,238 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 $305,184 home should be assessed near $303,353.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $305,247 above what the ratio math suggests (100.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Jackson home
$0.781 Schools · 56% $0.320 County · 23% $0.284 Town · 21%

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
