Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $672,527 – $911,658, from 12 comparable Summit sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,224 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Summit assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $820,375 home should be assessed near $252,758.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $345,842 above what the ratio math suggests (136.8%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Summit home
$2.335 Schools · 52% $1.092 County · 24% $1.043 Town · 23%
Summit also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $4.654 per $100 all-in (+$0.184).

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (35.43%) — roughly $15,459/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
