Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $370,097 – $527,489, from 12 comparable Dunellen 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 Dunellen assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $414,828 home should be assessed near $402,466.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $9,834 above what the ratio math suggests (2.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Dunellen home
$1.411 Schools · 58% $0.353 County · 14% $0.684 Town · 28%
This home's own bill implies $2.225 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Dunellen sale · assessed ÷ market

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Dunellen's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
