Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $387,719 – $512,590, from 12 comparable Dunellen sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,200 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Dunellen assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $429,245 home should be assessed near $416,453.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $108,847 above what the ratio math suggests (26.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Dunellen home
$1.411 Schools · 58% $0.353 County · 14% $0.684 Town · 28%
This home's own bill implies $2.241 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 $2,665/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
