The Fair Share Report

1 Spring Ln

Stanhope, NJ 07874

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

≈ $610,909

Likely range $537,307 – $730,813, from 12 comparable Stanhope sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

55.34%

The state's official measure of how far Stanhope assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $610,909 home should be assessed near $338,077.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$749,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $411,223 above what the ratio math suggests (121.6%).

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

$4.659 per $100 assessed

$2.600 Schools · 56% $0.686 County · 15% $1.373 Town · 29%

This home's own bill implies $2.112 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$15,825/yr
Public schools$8,831
Sussex County$2,330
Town of Stanhope$4,664
