The Fair Share Report

781 Third 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

≈ $599,159

Likely range $531,996 – $689,014, 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 $599,159 home should be assessed near $581,304.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$611,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $30,096 above what the ratio math suggests (5.2%).

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 $2.302 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Public schools$8,112
