Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,471,848 – $1,916,738, from 12 comparable Montclair 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 Montclair assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,696,181 home should be assessed near $954,271.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $118,371 below what the ratio math suggests (12.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Montclair home
$2.019 Schools · 57% $0.575 County · 16% $0.922 Town · 26%
Step 5 · The bill

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