Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $542,717 – $660,638, 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 $589,344 home should be assessed near $143,387.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $156,613 above what the ratio math suggests (109.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Hillside home
$3.447 Schools · 39% $1.407 County · 16% $4.044 Town · 45%
