General rate and effective rate in Glen Rock
New Jersey publishes two rates for every municipality. The general tax rate, $3.407 per $100 in Glen Rock, is the one applied to the assessed value on the bill: $300,000 assessed owes $10,221.00. The effective tax rate, $2.436 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 Glen Rock's assessments at about 71.5% of market value; the state median is 70.02%.
The effective rate is the fairer comparison between towns. On it Glen Rock ranks 141st of 564, against 194th on the general rate, and sits $0.300 above the $2.140 median effective rate. At 71.5%, a $300,000 assessment corresponds to roughly $419,580 of market value.

Appealing a Glen Rock assessment
New Jersey appeals go to the Bergen County Board of Taxation. The petition is due April 1, or May 1 in a year when Glen Rock 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 71.5% ratio implied by the state's two rates, that range runs from about 60.78% to 82.23% of market value; the Director's official average ratio for Glen Rock, which the County Board applies, can differ slightly.
