The Fair Share Report

104 E Central Ave

Wharton, NJ 07643

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

≈ $543,375

Likely range $434,483 – $558,975, from 12 comparable Wharton sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,512 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

92.46%

The state's official measure of how far Wharton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $543,375 home should be assessed near $502,405.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$331,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $171,105 below what the ratio math suggests (34.1%).

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

$2.606 per $100 assessed

$1.736 Schools · 67% $0.250 County · 10% $0.620 Town · 24%

This home's own bill implies $2.470 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Public schools$5,452

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Wharton pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
