Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,038,082 – $1,322,343, from 12 comparable Mountainside 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 Mountainside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,190,054 home should be assessed near $848,389.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $33,211 above what the ratio math suggests (3.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Mountainside home
$1.023 Schools · 49% $0.482 County · 23% $0.594 Town · 28%
This home's own bill implies $2.072 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Mountainside sale · assessed ÷ market

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