Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $401,711 – $657,413, from 12 comparable Highlands 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 Highlands assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $613,525 home should be assessed near $606,285.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $44,685 below what the ratio math suggests (7.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Highlands home
$0.700 Schools · 41% $0.196 County · 11% $0.813 Town · 48%
This home's own bill implies $1.385 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Highlands sale · assessed ÷ market

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Highlands's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
