Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $714,554 – $1,104,597, from 12 comparable Montclair sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,590 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Montclair assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $895,392 home should be assessed near $503,748.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $74,048 below what the ratio math suggests (14.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Montclair home
$2.019 Schools · 57% $0.575 County · 16% $0.922 Town · 26%
This home's own bill implies $1.985 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.
Step 5 · The bill

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