The Fair Share Report

1 Spring Brook Rd

Morris, NJ 07960

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $1,048,129

Likely range $952,004 – $1,170,923, from 12 comparable Morris sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,134 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

72.98%

The state's official measure of how far Morris assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,048,129 home should be assessed near $764,925.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,092,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $327,975 above what the ratio math suggests (42.9%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Morris home

$1.968 per $100 assessed

$1.147 Schools · 58% $0.303 County · 15% $0.517 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $1.692 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$10,784
Morris County$2,849
