The Fair Share Report

120 Second St

Dunellen, NJ 08812

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $431,430

Likely range $323,380 – $458,822, from 12 comparable Dunellen sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.02%

The state's official measure of how far Dunellen assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $431,430 home should be assessed near $418,573.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$395,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $22,873 below what the ratio math suggests (5.5%).

$2.448 per $100 assessed

$1.411 Schools · 58% $0.353 County · 14% $0.684 Town · 28%
