The Fair Share Report

116 Brookside Ave

Ewing, NJ 08638

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

≈ $257,685

Likely range $189,287 – $291,539, from 12 comparable Ewing sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

63.20%

The state's official measure of how far Ewing assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $257,685 home should be assessed near $162,857.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$108,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $54,457 below what the ratio math suggests (33.4%).

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

$4.051 per $100 assessed

$2.100 Schools · 52% $0.894 County · 22% $1.057 Town · 26%

Step 5 · The bill

$4,391/yr
Public schools$2,276
