Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $704,362 – $966,482, from 12 comparable Paramus 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 Paramus assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $814,177 home should be assessed near $759,627.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $10,873 above what the ratio math suggests (1.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Paramus home
$0.709 Schools · 47% $0.241 County · 16% $0.549 Town · 37%
This home's own bill implies $1.400 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

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