Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,408,997 – $1,891,395, from 12 comparable Ridgewood 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 Ridgewood assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,541,522 home should be assessed near $932,929.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $69,229 below what the ratio math suggests (7.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ridgewood home
$1.801 Schools · 62% $0.347 County · 12% $0.742 Town · 26%
Step 5 · The bill

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