General rate and effective rate in Wrightstown
New Jersey publishes two rates for every municipality. The general tax rate, $3.777 per $100 in Wrightstown, is the one applied to the assessed value on the bill: $300,000 assessed owes $11,331.00. The effective tax rate, $2.051 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 Wrightstown's assessments at about 54.3% of market value, well below market value, the sign of a town that has not revalued recently; the state median is 70.02%.
The effective rate is the fairer comparison between towns. On it Wrightstown ranks 327th of 564, against 127th on the general rate, and sits $0.090 below the $2.140 median effective rate. At 54.3%, a $300,000 assessment corresponds to roughly $552,486 of market value.

Appealing a Wrightstown assessment
New Jersey appeals go to the Burlington County Board of Taxation. Burlington County is one of the three counties on the alternative calendar, so the petition deadline is January 15 (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 54.3% ratio implied by the state's two rates, that range runs from about 46.15% to 62.44% of market value; the Director's official average ratio for Wrightstown, which the County Board applies, can differ slightly.
