Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $2,095,927 – $2,804,020, 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 $2,530,863 home should be assessed near $2,407,357.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $97,957 below what the ratio math suggests (4.1%).
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 $1.622 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

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