Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $694,959 – $773,086, from 12 comparable Howell sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,424 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Howell assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $736,493 home should be assessed near $714,472.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $281,072 below what the ratio math suggests (39.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Howell home
$1.121 Schools · 68% $0.218 County · 13% $0.320 Town · 19%
This home's own bill implies $1.532 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

Keep quiet and enjoy it
This home's assessment ratio sits below the Howell pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
