The Fair Share Report

10 Oak St

Upper, NJ 07444

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

≈ $399,114

Likely range $273,314 – $534,784, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $399,114 home should be assessed near $226,098.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$137,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $89,098 below what the ratio math suggests (39.4%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

Step 5 · The bill

$3,310/yr
Public schools$2,370
Cape May County$476
Town of Upper$464
Upper average$6,686

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Upper's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
