Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $325,079 – $387,068, from 12 comparable Helmetta 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 Helmetta assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $347,796 home should be assessed near $193,027.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $61,273 above what the ratio math suggests (31.7%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Helmetta home
$2.120 Schools · 60% $0.601 County · 17% $0.836 Town · 24%
Step 5 · The bill
