The Fair Share Report

119 E Rd

Middletown, NJ 07718

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

≈ $554,707

Likely range $513,732 – $723,496, from 12 comparable Middletown sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,652 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

98.35%

The state's official measure of how far Middletown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $554,707 home should be assessed near $545,554.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$625,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $80,146 above what the ratio math suggests (14.7%).

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

$1.614 per $100 assessed

$0.990 Schools · 61% $0.195 County · 12% $0.429 Town · 27%

This home's own bill implies $1.566 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
