Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $665,373 – $804,025, from 12 comparable Bound Brook 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 Bound Brook assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $716,680 home should be assessed near $668,376.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $40,276 below what the ratio math suggests (6.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bound Brook home
$1.107 Schools · 50% $0.345 County · 16% $0.753 Town · 34%
This home's own bill implies $2.066 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 Bound Brook's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
