General rate and effective rate in Green Township
New Jersey publishes two rates for every municipality. The general tax rate, $2.274 per $100 in Green Township, is the one applied to the assessed value on the bill: $300,000 assessed owes $6,822.00. The effective tax rate, $2.401 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 Green Township's assessments at about 105.58% 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 Green Township ranks 159th of 564, against 387th on the general rate, and sits $0.260 above the $2.140 median effective rate. At 105.58%, a $300,000 assessment corresponds to roughly $284,145 of market value.
Green Township's rate in 2024 and 2025
The general tax rate fell $1.620 per $100 (41.57%) from $3.892 per $100 in 2024, and the same $300,000 assessment owes $4,854.00 less than at last year's rate. In 2024 Green Township ranked 116th. The general rate fell sharply while the effective rate moved only 11.7% and the implied ratio went from 69.86% to 105.58%: the pattern of a revaluation, when assessments are raised to market value and the rate drops to match, so the lower rate does not mean lower bills.

Each bill is the assessed value divided by 100 and multiplied by $2.274, before exemptions, credits or special charges. These are assessed values, not sale prices: at 105.58% the $300,000 row is a property worth about $284,145. The last column is the difference from the same assessment at the $2.960 per $100 state median.

Appealing a Green Township assessment
New Jersey appeals go to the Sussex County Board of Taxation. The petition is due April 1, or May 1 in a year when Green 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 105.58% ratio implied by the state's two rates, that range runs from about 89.74% to 121.42% of market value; the Director's official average ratio for Green Township, which the County Board applies, can differ slightly.
