Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $823,212 – $1,065,027, 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 $954,361 home should be assessed near $907,788.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $157,912 above what the ratio math suggests (17.4%).
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 $1.567 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $2,664/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
