Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $887,615 – $1,100,718, 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 $935,347 home should be assessed near $889,702.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $129,702 below what the ratio math suggests (14.6%).
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 $1.550 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

Keep quiet and enjoy it
This home's assessment ratio sits below the Bernards pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
