## What homes at different prices pay in Westfield Town

Assessments in Westfield Town averaged 72.48% of true value, which is why its general rate (2.292) is higher than its effective rate (1.810). 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 72.48% 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 | $217,440 | **$4,984** | $415 |
| $450,000 | $326,160 | **$7,476** | $623 |
| $600,000 | $434,880 | **$9,967** | $831 |
| $800,000 | $579,840 | **$13,290** | $1,107 |
| $1,000,000 | $724,800 | **$16,612** | $1,384 |

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.
