Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $692,761 – $906,206, from 12 comparable Bernards 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 Bernards assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $827,400 home should be assessed near $787,023.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $97,177 above what the ratio math suggests (12.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bernards home
$1.095 Schools · 65% $0.308 County · 18% $0.285 Town · 17%
This home's own bill implies $1.657 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Bernards sale · assessed ÷ market

A touch high — worth watching
This home's ratio sits above most of Bernards, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (100.00%).
