Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $488,485 – $588,883, from 12 comparable Closter sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 936 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Closter assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $526,500 home should be assessed near $453,211.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $182,989 above what the ratio math suggests (40.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Closter home
$1.285 Schools · 62% $0.239 County · 12% $0.547 Town · 26%
This home's own bill implies $1.854 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
