Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,964,182 – $2,242,926, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 4,058 sq ft.
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 $2,221,156 home should be assessed near $2,072,339.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $260,839 below what the ratio math suggests (12.6%).
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 $1.440 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

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