## What homes at different prices pay in Berkeley Heights Township

Assessments in the area averaged 35.73% of true value, which is why its general rate (4.401) is higher than its effective rate (1.820). A home is not taxed at the general rate on its full market value. The table turns each market value into an assessed value with that 35.73% average ratio ([Amended Table of Equalized Valuations 2025](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/pdf/lptval/2024/2025TEV.pdf)), then applies the general rate.

| Market value | Est. assessed value | Est. yearly tax | Per month |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| $300,000 | $107,190 | **$4,717** | $393 |
| $450,000 | $160,785 | **$7,076** | $590 |
| $600,000 | $214,380 | **$9,435** | $786 |
| $800,000 | $285,840 | **$12,580** | $1,048 |
| $1,000,000 | $357,300 | **$15,725** | $1,310 |

Individual assessments vary around the town average, so a home's real assessed value can be higher or lower than the estimate here. The figure on your own bill or assessment notice is the one that counts.
