Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,800,153 – $2,487,970, from 12 comparable Montclair 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 Montclair assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $2,200,000 home should be assessed near $1,237,720.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $77,320 below what the ratio math suggests (6.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Montclair home
$2.019 Schools · 57% $0.575 County · 16% $0.922 Town · 26%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Montclair sale · assessed ÷ market

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