The Fair Share Report

1007 Rector Rd

Bridgewater, NJ 08807

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

≈ $721,650

Likely range $668,076 – $785,420, from 12 comparable Bridgewater sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

86.72%

The state's official measure of how far Bridgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $721,650 home should be assessed near $625,815.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$640,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $14,185 above what the ratio math suggests (2.3%).

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

$1.901 per $100 assessed

$1.294 Schools · 68% $0.364 County · 19% $0.244 Town · 13%

This home's own bill implies $1.757 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$11,242/yr
Public schools$7,648
Somerset County$2,151
Town of Bridgewater$1,442
