Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $1,332,692 – $1,926,925, from 12 comparable Rumson sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,002 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Rumson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,505,654 home should be assessed near $1,455,967.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $280,033 above what the ratio math suggests (19.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Rumson home
$0.594 Schools · 57% $0.210 County · 20% $0.245 Town · 23%
This home's own bill implies $0.912 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

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