Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $429,519 – $644,379, 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 $502,340 home should be assessed near $80,776.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $12,876 below what the ratio math suggests (15.9%).
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

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.
