The Fair Share Report

605 Second St

Dunellen, NJ 08812

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $489,434

Likely range $428,785 – $585,608, from 12 comparable Dunellen sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.02%

The state's official measure of how far Dunellen assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $489,434 home should be assessed near $474,849.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$526,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $51,951 above what the ratio math suggests (10.9%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Dunellen home

$2.448 per $100 assessed

$1.411 Schools · 58% $0.353 County · 14% $0.684 Town · 28%

This home's own bill implies $2.349 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$12,372/yr
Public schools$7,131
Middlesex County$1,784
Town of Dunellen$3,457
