Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $830,865 – $1,025,704, from 12 comparable Rutherford 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 Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $887,598 home should be assessed near $589,276.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $48,376 below what the ratio math suggests (8.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Rutherford home
$1.890 Schools · 59% $0.321 County · 10% $0.987 Town · 31%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Rutherford sale · assessed ÷ market

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