Step 1 · Market value

Likely range $1,030,431 – $1,422,910, from 12 comparable Paramus 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 Paramus assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,207,848 home should be assessed near $1,126,922.

Step 3 · Assessed value

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $185,878 above what the ratio math suggests (16.5%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Paramus home

$0.709 Schools · 47% $0.241 County · 16% $0.549 Town · 37%

This home's own bill implies $1.406 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
