General rate and effective rate in Hi-Nella
New Jersey publishes two rates for every municipality. The general tax rate, $6.764 per $100 in Hi-Nella, is the one applied to the assessed value on the bill: $300,000 assessed owes $20,292.00. The effective tax rate, $4.276 per $100, is "the general property tax adjusted by the municipality's equalization ratio", the rate on market value. Dividing one by the other puts Hi-Nella's assessments at about 63.22% of market value, well below market value, the sign of a town that has not revalued recently; the state median is 70.02%.
The effective rate is the fairer comparison between towns. On it Hi-Nella ranks 5th of 564, against 21st on the general rate, and sits $2.140 above the $2.140 median effective rate. At 63.22%, a $300,000 assessment corresponds to roughly $474,533 of market value.

Each bill is the assessed value divided by 100 and multiplied by $6.764, before exemptions, credits or special charges. These are assessed values, not sale prices: at 63.22% the $300,000 row is a property worth about $474,533. The last column is the difference from the same assessment at the $2.960 per $100 state median.

Appealing a Hi-Nella assessment
New Jersey appeals go to the Camden County Board of Taxation. The petition is due April 1, or May 1 in a year when Hi-Nella implemented a municipal-wide revaluation or reassessment (NJ Division of Taxation). Property assessed above $1,000,000 may go directly to the Tax Court, and a County Board judgment can be appealed to the Tax Court within 45 days. The Board tests the assessment against the common level range: the average ratio plus or minus 15%. Using the 63.22% ratio implied by the state's two rates, that range runs from about 53.74% to 72.7% of market value; the Director's official average ratio for Hi-Nella, which the County Board applies, can differ slightly.
