Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $724,777 – $879,222, from 12 comparable Howell 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 Howell assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $838,130 home should be assessed near $813,070.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $178,430 above what the ratio math suggests (21.9%).
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 $1.579 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 $2,960/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
