Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $292,321 – $453,129, from 12 comparable Middle 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 Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $352,854 home should be assessed near $226,144.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $295,256 above what the ratio math suggests (130.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Middle home
$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%
Step 5 · The bill

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (73.70%) — roughly $6,147/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
