Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $162,000 – $445,000, from 11 comparable Downe sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,296 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Downe assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $290,000 home should be assessed near $227,360.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $20,860 below what the ratio math suggests (9.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Downe home
$1.454 Schools · 50% $1.070 County · 37% $0.407 Town · 14%

Paying about right
