Estimated tax down $12 ($312 → $300) using 2024→2025 rates (2.441 → 2.345) × assessed net.
Assessment net change: 0.0% ($12,800 → $12,800).

How the ratio works: New Jersey towns often assess below full market value. The average ratio (Director’s / Chapter 123) estimates what percent of true market value the town’s assessments represent. Implied equalized value ≈ assessed net ÷ (ratio ÷ 100). Example: assessed $187,600 at 55.89% ≈ $335,700 equalized. Tax bills still use assessed value × the general tax rate — not the equalized figure.
