Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,209,087 – $1,584,474, 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 $1,419,422 home should be assessed near $1,350,154.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $204,046 above what the ratio math suggests (15.1%).
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 $1.565 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 Bernards, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (100.00%).
