The general tax rate, $2.046 per $100 in Weehawken Township, is the one applied to the assessed value on the bill: $300,000 assessed owes $6,138.00. The effective tax rate, $1.853 per $100, is "the general property tax adjusted by the municipality's equalization ratio", the rate on market value.

Appealing a Weehawken Township assessment
New Jersey appeals go to the Hudson County Board of Taxation. The petition is due April 1, or May 1 in a year when Weehawken 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 90.57% ratio implied by the state's two rates, that range runs from about 76.98% to 104.16% of market value; the Director's official average ratio for Weehawken Township, which the County Board applies, can differ slightly.
