Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $567,799 – $711,023, from 12 comparable 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 Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $624,029 home should be assessed near $414,293.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $65,707 above what the ratio math suggests (15.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Rutherford home
$1.890 Schools · 59% $0.321 County · 10% $0.987 Town · 31%
Step 5 · The bill

A touch high — worth watching
This home's ratio sits above most of Rutherford, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (76.35%).
