Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $414,101 – $539,127, from 12 comparable Old Bridge 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 Old Bridge assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $446,380 home should be assessed near $126,459.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $559 below what the ratio math suggests (0.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Old Bridge home
