Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,243,408 – $1,751,237, from 12 comparable Tenafly 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 Tenafly assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,303,551 home should be assessed near $837,532.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $171,732 below what the ratio math suggests (20.5%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Tenafly home
$1.924 Schools · 65% $0.332 County · 11% $0.716 Town · 24%
Step 5 · The bill

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