Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $541,328 – $736,477, 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 $598,678 home should be assessed near $569,463.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $29,937 above what the ratio math suggests (5.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bernards home
$1.095 Schools · 65% $0.308 County · 18% $0.285 Town · 17%
Step 5 · The bill

Paying about right
