Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $355,557 – $555,179, from 12 comparable Matawan 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 Matawan assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $501,304 home should be assessed near $491,027.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $16,727 below what the ratio math suggests (3.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Matawan home
$1.221 Schools · 59% $0.196 County · 9% $0.670 Town · 32%
This home's own bill implies $1.971 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

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