## What homes at different prices pay in Englewood Cliffs Borough

Assessments in the borough averaged 80.70% of true value, which is why its general rate (1.165) is higher than its effective rate (0.995). A home is not taxed at the general rate on its full market value. The table turns each market value into an assessed value with that 80.70% average ratio ([Amended Table of Equalized Valuations 2025](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/pdf/lptval/2024/2025TEV.pdf)), then applies the general rate.

| Market value | Est. assessed value | Est. yearly tax | Per month |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| $300,000 | $242,100 | **$2,820** | $235 |
| $450,000 | $363,150 | **$4,231** | $353 |
| $600,000 | $484,200 | **$5,641** | $470 |
| $800,000 | $645,600 | **$7,521** | $627 |
| $1,000,000 | $807,000 | **$9,402** | $783 |

Individual assessments vary around the town average, so a home's real assessed value can be higher or lower than the estimate here. The figure on your own bill or assessment notice is the one that counts.
