The Fair Share Report

4 Deerpath Dr

Howell, NJ 07727

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $1,029,322

Likely range $944,248 – $1,185,776, from 12 comparable Howell sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.01%

The state's official measure of how far Howell assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,029,322 home should be assessed near $998,545.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,097,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $99,355 above what the ratio math suggests (9.9%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Howell home

$1.659 per $100 assessed

$1.121 Schools · 68% $0.218 County · 13% $0.320 Town · 19%

This home's own bill implies $1.528 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$16,781/yr
Public schools$11,339
Monmouth County$2,205
Town of Howell$3,237
