Howell, NJ 07869

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

≈ $627,519

Likely range $516,250 – $692,967, from 12 comparable Howell sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.01%

The state's official measure of how far Howell assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $627,519 home should be assessed near $608,756.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$509,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $98,956 below what the ratio math suggests (16.3%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Howell home

$1.659 per $100 assessed

$1.121 Schools · 68% $0.218 County · 13% $0.320 Town · 19%
