Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $395,900 – $424,416, from 12 comparable Newton 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 Newton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $412,105 home should be assessed near $369,411.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $29,111 below what the ratio math suggests (7.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Newton home
$1.310 Schools · 49% $0.420 County · 16% $0.931 Town · 35%
This home's own bill implies $2.515 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

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