Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $3,280,450 – $4,607,521, from 12 comparable Rumson 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 Rumson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $3,890,844 home should be assessed near $3,762,446.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,658,354 above what the ratio math suggests (44.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Rumson home
$0.594 Schools · 57% $0.210 County · 20% $0.245 Town · 23%
This home's own bill implies $0.914 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $17,396/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
