Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $450,867 – $561,998, from 12 comparable Dumont sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,092 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Dumont assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $535,751 home should be assessed near $510,624.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $133,576 above what the ratio math suggests (26.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Dumont home
$1.304 Schools · 56% $0.233 County · 10% $0.803 Town · 34%
This home's own bill implies $2.184 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
