This home's payments are about right
It sits inside Bernards's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,006,338 – $1,266,886, 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 $1,052,266 home should be assessed near $1,000,915.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $11,385 above what the ratio math suggests (1.1%).
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 $1.581 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
