The Fair Share Report

11 Second St

Highlands, NJ 07732

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

≈ $315,157

Likely range $288,107 – $328,067, from 12 comparable Highlands sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 740 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

98.82%

The state's official measure of how far Highlands assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $315,157 home should be assessed near $311,438.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,386,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,074,962 above what the ratio math suggests (345.2%).

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

$1.709 per $100 assessed

$0.700 Schools · 41% $0.196 County · 11% $0.813 Town · 48%

This home's own bill implies $1.507 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$20,888/yr
Public schools$8,556
Monmouth County$2,396
Town of Highlands$9,937
Highlands average$8,981

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
