Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $864,535 – $1,213,875, from 12 comparable Montclair sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,051 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Montclair assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $951,630 home should be assessed near $535,387.
