Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $469,932 – $512,565, from 12 comparable Linden 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 Linden assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $495,783 home should be assessed near $122,161.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $23,539 above what the ratio math suggests (19.3%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Linden home
$3.319 Schools · 45% $1.310 County · 18% $2.715 Town · 37%
Linden also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $7.844 per $100 all-in (+$0.500).

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (28.34%) — roughly $1,729/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
