The Fair Share Report

16 Kiwi Loop

Howell, NJ 07731

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

≈ $549,320

Likely range $443,658 – $588,128, from 12 comparable Howell sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,504 sq ft.

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 $549,320 home should be assessed near $532,895.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$649,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $116,305 above what the ratio math suggests (21.8%).

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%

This home's own bill implies $1.576 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$10,231/yr
Public schools$6,913
Monmouth County$1,344
Town of Howell$1,973
Howell average$9,883

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 $1,929/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
