General rate and effective rate in Warren Township
New Jersey publishes two rates for every municipality. The general tax rate, $1.752 per $100 in Warren Township, is the one applied to the assessed value on the bill: $300,000 assessed owes $5,256.00. The effective tax rate, $1.841 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 Warren Township's assessments at about 105.08% of market value, above market value on average; the state median is 70.02%.
The effective rate is the fairer comparison between towns. On it Warren Township ranks 407th of 564, against 480th on the general rate, and sits $0.300 below the $2.140 median effective rate. At 105.08%, a $300,000 assessment corresponds to roughly $285,497 of market value.

Appealing a Warren Township assessment
New Jersey appeals go to the Somerset County Board of Taxation. The petition is due April 1, or May 1 in a year when Warren Township 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 105.08% ratio implied by the state's two rates, that range runs from about 89.32% to 120.84% of market value; the Director's official average ratio for Warren Township, which the County Board applies, can differ slightly.
