Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,114,897 – $1,580,429, from 12 comparable Paramus 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 Paramus assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,390,368 home should be assessed near $1,297,213.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $250,387 above what the ratio math suggests (19.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Paramus home
$0.709 Schools · 47% $0.241 County · 16% $0.549 Town · 37%
This home's own bill implies $1.456 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

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