The Fair Share Report

10 Patrick Ave

Emerson, NJ 07630

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

≈ $1,046,423

Likely range $981,662 – $1,313,121, from 12 comparable Emerson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.48%

The state's official measure of how far Emerson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,046,423 home should be assessed near $695,662.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$786,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $90,338 above what the ratio math suggests (13.0%).

$3.419 per $100 assessed

$2.044 Schools · 60% $0.329 County · 10% $1.046 Town · 31%
