On narrow screens the ratio column is hidden.

## Reading the table

Use the **general rate** with your assessed value to estimate a bill: assessed value × general rate ÷ 100. The **effective rate** is the State's comparison figure, and the Division says it is not for computing a bill. The widest gap in Bergen County is Bergenfield Borough: general 3.738, effective 2.202, with assessments averaging 54.72% of true value. The **average residential bill** is the Division's average for residential properties in the town, not a typical bill for any one house.

## Appeals in Bergen County

Assessment appeals go to the **Bergen County Board of Taxation**: 2 Bergen County Plaza, 1st Floor, Hackensack, NJ 07601-7076, phone (201) 336-6300 ([State contact list, September 2026](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/pdf/lpt/cb/ctb-statewide.pdf)). The Division's [appeals page](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/lpt/lpt-appeal.shtml) gives the filing deadline as April 1, or May 1 when the town has had a revaluation or reassessment. To win, an owner must show the assessment doesn't fairly reflect true market value or falls outside the common level range: the town's average ratio plus or minus 15%. The ranges certified for tax year 2027 are in the [Chapter 123 certification](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/pdf/lpt/chap123/2027CH123.pdf); it notes that ratios over 100% are considered 100%, which affects Elmwood Park Borough, Leonia Borough, Northvale Borough, Norwood Borough, Old Tappan Borough, Rockleigh Borough, Wood-Ridge Borough here.
