Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $715,577 – $827,302, from 12 comparable Stafford 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 Stafford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $771,303 home should be assessed near $399,921.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $378,279 above what the ratio math suggests (94.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Stafford home
$1.048 Schools · 40% $0.603 County · 23% $0.972 Town · 37%
This home's own bill implies $1.376 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (59.63%) — roughly $9,922/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
