Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $451,705 – $698,077, from 12 comparable Roselle 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 Roselle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $531,817 home should be assessed near $149,228.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $3,872 above what the ratio math suggests (2.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Roselle home
$3.297 Schools · 36% $1.177 County · 13% $4.673 Town · 51%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Roselle sale · assessed ÷ market

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