Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $741,211 – $899,715, from 12 comparable Westfield sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,578 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Westfield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $804,993 home should be assessed near $583,459.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $92,759 below what the ratio math suggests (15.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Westfield home
$1.428 Schools · 62% $0.455 County · 20% $0.409 Town · 18%
Westfield also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $2.396 per $100 all-in (+$0.105).
Step 5 · The bill

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