Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $324,258 – $391,176, from 12 comparable Highlands 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 Highlands assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $375,620 home should be assessed near $371,188.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $50,412 above what the ratio math suggests (13.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Highlands home
$0.700 Schools · 41% $0.196 County · 11% $0.813 Town · 48%
This home's own bill implies $1.283 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
Step 5 · The bill

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $862/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
