Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $335,271 – $483,031, from 12 comparable Dunellen 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 Dunellen assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $445,794 home should be assessed near $432,509.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $17,591 above what the ratio math suggests (4.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Dunellen home
$1.411 Schools · 58% $0.353 County · 14% $0.684 Town · 28%

Paying about right
