Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $2,143,323 – $3,235,101, from 12 comparable Bay Head 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 Bay Head assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $2,605,804 home should be assessed near $1,461,595.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $792,305 above what the ratio math suggests (54.2%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bay Head home
$0.251 Schools · 23% $0.576 County · 52% $0.277 Town · 25%
