Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $430,395 – $569,452, from 12 comparable Stafford sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,758 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Stafford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $522,517 home should be assessed near $270,925.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $216,975 above what the ratio math suggests (80.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Stafford home
$1.048 Schools · 40% $0.603 County · 23% $0.972 Town · 37%
This home's own bill implies $1.312 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
