Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $553,897 – $800,555, from 12 comparable Clifton 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 Clifton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $674,231 home should be assessed near $214,877.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $33,777 below what the ratio math suggests (15.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Clifton home
$2.947 Schools · 48% $1.344 County · 22% $1.837 Town · 30%
This home's own bill implies $5.991 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Clifton sale · assessed ÷ market

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