Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $144,460 – $236,185, from 12 comparable Middlesex 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 Middlesex assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $205,375 home should be assessed near $200,282.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $36,818 above what the ratio math suggests (18.4%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Middlesex home
$1.137 Schools · 54% $0.340 County · 16% $0.643 Town · 30%
This home's own bill implies $1.927 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

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 $780/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
