This home's payments are about right
It sits inside East Rutherford's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $565,346 – $746,679, from 12 comparable East Rutherford 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 East Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $627,788 home should be assessed near $641,223.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $87,423 below what the ratio math suggests (13.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every East Rutherford home
$0.926 Schools · 58% $0.236 County · 15% $0.446 Town · 28%
This home's own bill implies $1.552 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
