Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $915,262 – $1,030,477, 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 $996,822 home should be assessed near $930,035.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $150,365 above what the ratio math suggests (16.2%).
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 $1.419 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $2,254/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
