Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $252,439 – $487,059, from 12 comparable Middle sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,380 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $399,651 home should be assessed near $256,136.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $15,164 above what the ratio math suggests (5.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Middle home
$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%
