Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $479,856 – $688,923, from 12 comparable Middletown sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,305 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Middletown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $616,197 home should be assessed near $606,030.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $122,230 below what the ratio math suggests (20.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Middletown home
$0.990 Schools · 61% $0.195 County · 12% $0.429 Town · 27%
This home's own bill implies $1.421 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Paying about right
