General rate and effective rate in Longport
New Jersey publishes two rates for every municipality. The general tax rate, $1.111 per $100 in Longport, is the one applied to the assessed value on the bill: $300,000 assessed owes $3,333.00. The effective tax rate, $0.698 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 Longport's assessments at about 62.83% 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 Longport ranks 544th of 564, against 535th on the general rate, and sits $1.440 below the $2.140 median effective rate. At 62.83%, a $300,000 assessment corresponds to roughly $477,479 of market value.

These are assessed values, not sale prices: at 62.83% the $300,000 row is a property worth about $477,479. The last column is the difference from the same assessment at the $2.960 per $100 state median.

Appealing a Longport assessment
New Jersey appeals go to the Atlantic County Board of Taxation. The petition is due April 1, or May 1 in a year when Longport 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 62.83% ratio implied by the state's two rates, that range runs from about 53.41% to 72.25% of market value; the Director's official average ratio for Longport, which the County Board applies, can differ slightly.
