Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $462,159 – $709,619, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Newark assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $595,795 home should be assessed near $242,429.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $58,029 below what the ratio math suggests (23.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Newark home
$1.162 Schools · 29% $0.519 County · 13% $2.318 Town · 58%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Newark sale · assessed ÷ market

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