Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $412,000 – $640,000, from 12 comparable Somerville sales in the past 18 months.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Somerville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $500,000 home should be assessed near $294,000.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $2,500 below what the ratio math suggests (0.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Somerville home
$2.388 Schools · 59% $0.552 County · 14% $1.138 Town · 28%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Somerville sale · assessed ÷ market

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