Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $417,831 – $543,156, from 12 comparable Dunellen sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,632 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Dunellen assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $490,827 home should be assessed near $476,200.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $91,700 above what the ratio math suggests (19.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Dunellen home
$1.411 Schools · 58% $0.353 County · 14% $0.684 Town · 28%
This home's own bill implies $2.110 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
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 (100.00%) — roughly $2,245/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
