The Fair Share Report

41 Datchet Close

Howell, NJ 07728

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

≈ $579,264

Likely range $536,706 – $612,976, 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 $579,264 home should be assessed near $561,944.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$450,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $111,444 below what the ratio math suggests (19.8%).

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 $1.611 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$7,260/yr
Public schools$4,905
Monmouth County$954
Town of Howell$1,400

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Howell pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
