Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $131,200 – $300,000, from 8 comparable Fairfield sales in the past 18 months.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Fairfield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $150,000 home should be assessed near $124,995.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $36,995 below what the ratio math suggests (29.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Fairfield home
$1.447 Schools · 49% $1.029 County · 35% $0.495 Town · 17%
