Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $575,519 – $729,523, from 12 comparable Kearny 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 Kearny assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $585,655 home should be assessed near $94,173.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $9,073 below what the ratio math suggests (9.6%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Kearny home
$5.124 Schools · 47% $1.917 County · 18% $3.806 Town · 35%

Paying about right
