Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $300,893 – $491,753, from 12 comparable Hillside 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 Hillside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $372,341 home should be assessed near $90,591.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $9,209 above what the ratio math suggests (10.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hillside home
$3.447 Schools · 39% $1.407 County · 16% $4.044 Town · 45%
Step 5 · The bill

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