The Fair Share Report

101 Central Ave

Alpha, NJ 08865

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

≈ $160,441

Likely range $128,572 – $225,770, from 12 comparable Alpha sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

63.67%

The state's official measure of how far Alpha assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $160,441 home should be assessed near $102,153.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$78,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $24,153 below what the ratio math suggests (23.6%).

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

$3.484 per $100 assessed

$1.754 Schools · 50% $0.758 County · 22% $0.973 Town · 28%

This home's own bill implies $3.164 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$2,468/yr
Public schools$1,242
Warren County$537
Town of Alpha$689
Alpha average$6,415

Paying about right

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