Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $187,001 – $246,462, from 12 comparable Burlington 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 Burlington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $231,525 home should be assessed near $146,277.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $52,877 below what the ratio math suggests (36.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Burlington home
$2.369 Schools · 53% $0.517 County · 12% $1.555 Town · 35%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Burlington sale · assessed ÷ market
32%82%
Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Burlington's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
