The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
This home's payments are about right
It sits inside Shamong's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $467,075 – $661,120, from 12 comparable Shamong sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
