Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $231,632 – $352,661, from 12 comparable Alpha 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 Alpha assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $253,183 home should be assessed near $161,202.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $34,202 below what the ratio math suggests (21.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Alpha home
$1.754 Schools · 50% $0.758 County · 22% $0.973 Town · 28%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Alpha sale · assessed ÷ market

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