Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $461,495 – $653,277, from 12 comparable Linden sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,196 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Linden assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $588,197 home should be assessed near $144,932.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,532 below what the ratio math suggests (21.8%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Linden home
$3.319 Schools · 45% $1.310 County · 18% $2.715 Town · 37%
Linden also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $7.844 per $100 all-in (+$0.500).

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