General rate and effective rate in Florham Park
New Jersey publishes two rates for every municipality. The general tax rate, $1.691 per $100 in Florham Park, is the one applied to the assessed value on the bill: $300,000 assessed owes $5,073.00. The effective tax rate, $1.270 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 Florham Park's assessments at about 75.1% of market value; the state median is 70.02%.
The effective rate is the fairer comparison between towns. On it Florham Park ranks 513th of 564, against 491st on the general rate, and sits $0.870 below the $2.140 median effective rate. At 75.1%, a $300,000 assessment corresponds to roughly $399,467 of market value.

Appealing a Florham Park assessment
New Jersey appeals go to the Morris County Board of Taxation. The petition is due April 1, or May 1 in a year when Florham Park 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 75.1% ratio implied by the state's two rates, that range runs from about 63.83% to 86.36% of market value; the Director's official average ratio for Florham Park, which the County Board applies, can differ slightly.
