General rate and effective rate in Hoboken
New Jersey publishes two rates for every municipality. The general tax rate, $1.805 per $100 in Hoboken, is the one applied to the assessed value on the bill: $300,000 assessed owes $5,415.00. The effective tax rate, $1.070 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 Hoboken's assessments at about 59.28% 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 Hoboken ranks 522nd of 564, against 469th on the general rate, and sits $1.070 below the $2.140 median effective rate. At 59.28%, a $300,000 assessment corresponds to roughly $506,073 of market value.

The effective rate went from $1.109 to $1.070 per $100 (down 3.52%), and the implied ratio from 62.8% to 59.28%: market values rose faster than assessments.

Each bill is the assessed value divided by 100 and multiplied by $1.805, before exemptions, credits or special charges. These are assessed values, not sale prices: at 59.28% the $300,000 row is a property worth about $506,073. The last column is the difference from the same assessment at the $2.960 per $100 state median.

Because towns assess at different shares of market value, the effective rate is the better guide to what a house of a given price pays.
Appealing a Hoboken assessment
New Jersey appeals go to the Hudson County Board of Taxation. The petition is due April 1, or May 1 in a year when Hoboken 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 59.28% ratio implied by the state's two rates, that range runs from about 50.39% to 68.17% of market value; the Director's official average ratio for Hoboken, which the County Board applies, can differ slightly.
