Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $511,353 – $682,297, from 12 comparable Howell 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 Howell assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $638,958 home should be assessed near $619,853.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $101,653 below what the ratio math suggests (16.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Howell home
$1.121 Schools · 68% $0.218 County · 13% $0.320 Town · 19%

Paying about right
