The Fair Share Report

104 E Cooper St

Dover, NJ 07801

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

≈ $484,669

Likely range $442,228 – $556,452, from 12 comparable Dover sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,652 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.38%

The state's official measure of how far Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $484,669 home should be assessed near $297,490.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$210,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $87,190 below what the ratio math suggests (29.3%).

$1.500 Schools · 43% $0.346 County · 10% $1.643 Town · 47%
