Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $195,000 – $277,428, from 12 comparable Alpha sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 988 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Alpha assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $235,238 home should be assessed near $149,776.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $12,024 above what the ratio math suggests (8.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Alpha home
$1.754 Schools · 50% $0.758 County · 22% $0.973 Town · 28%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Alpha sale · assessed ÷ market

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