The Fair Share Report

2 Iris Ct

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

≈ $512,784

Likely range $464,715 – $689,609, 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 $512,784 home should be assessed near $497,452.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$650,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $152,948 above what the ratio math suggests (30.7%).

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 $1.575 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$6,924
Monmouth County$1,346
Town of Howell$1,976

Paying about right
