Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,088,840 – $1,439,602, from 12 comparable Washington 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 Washington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,193,580 home should be assessed near $756,372.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $319,028 above what the ratio math suggests (42.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Washington home
$1.780 Schools · 62% $0.343 County · 12% $0.735 Town · 26%
This home's own bill implies $1.472 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
