Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $882,475 – $1,281,460, from 12 comparable Rutherford sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,926 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,068,858 home should be assessed near $709,615.
