Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $871,753 – $1,058,843, from 12 comparable Howell sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,222 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Howell assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $922,709 home should be assessed near $895,120.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $233,080 above what the ratio math suggests (26.0%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Howell home
$1.121 Schools · 68% $0.218 County · 13% $0.320 Town · 19%
This home's own bill implies $1.532 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

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 $3,867/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
