Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $492,309 – $895,918, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,136 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $800,182 home should be assessed near $423,696.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $7,004 above what the ratio math suggests (1.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Berkeley home
$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Berkeley sale · assessed ÷ market
