Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $496,621 – $721,290, from 12 comparable Kearny 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 Kearny assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $616,062 home should be assessed near $99,063.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $7,463 below what the ratio math suggests (7.5%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Kearny home
$5.124 Schools · 47% $1.917 County · 18% $3.806 Town · 35%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Kearny sale · assessed ÷ market

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Kearny's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
