General rate and effective rate in Tavistock
New Jersey publishes two rates for every municipality. The general tax rate, $1.454 per $100 in Tavistock, is the one applied to the assessed value on the bill: $300,000 assessed owes $4,362.00. The effective tax rate, $1.445 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 Tavistock's assessments at about 99.38% of market value; the state median is 70.02%.
The effective rate is the fairer comparison between towns. On it Tavistock ranks 494th of 564, against 514th on the general rate, and sits $0.690 below the $2.140 median effective rate. At 99.38%, a $300,000 assessment corresponds to roughly $301,872 of market value.

These are assessed values, not sale prices: at 99.38% the $300,000 row is a property worth about $301,872. The last column is the difference from the same assessment at the $2.960 per $100 state median.

Appealing a Tavistock 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 Tavistock 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 99.38% ratio implied by the state's two rates, that range runs from about 84.47% to 114.29% of market value; the Director's official average ratio for Tavistock, which the County Board applies, can differ slightly.
