The Fair Share Report

11 E High St

Bound Brook, NJ 08805

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

≈ $648,952

Likely range $541,278 – $747,659, from 12 comparable Bound Brook sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

93.26%

The state's official measure of how far Bound Brook assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $648,952 home should be assessed near $605,213.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$555,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $49,713 below what the ratio math suggests (8.2%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bound Brook home

$2.206 per $100 assessed

$1.107 Schools · 50% $0.345 County · 16% $0.753 Town · 34%

This home's own bill implies $2.032 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
