Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $160,000 – $375,000, from 6 comparable Fairfield sales in the past 18 months.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Fairfield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $307,000 home should be assessed near $255,823.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $97,623 below what the ratio math suggests (38.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Fairfield home
$1.447 Schools · 49% $1.029 County · 35% $0.495 Town · 17%
