Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $499,550 – $745,000, from 11 comparable Somerville sales in the past 18 months.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Somerville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $575,000 home should be assessed near $338,100.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $183,200 above what the ratio math suggests (54.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Somerville home
$2.388 Schools · 59% $0.552 County · 14% $1.138 Town · 28%
