Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $90,373 – $216,184, from 12 comparable Lawrence 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 Lawrence assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $171,786 home should be assessed near $127,139.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $27,039 below what the ratio math suggests (21.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Lawrence home
$1.214 Schools · 41% $1.092 County · 37% $0.671 Town · 23%

Paying about right
