The Fair Share Report

12 Cherry Ln

Mendham, NJ 07620

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

≈ $920,898

Likely range $851,387 – $1,035,797, from 12 comparable Mendham sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

90.86%

The state's official measure of how far Mendham assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $920,898 home should be assessed near $836,728.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$631,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $205,728 below what the ratio math suggests (24.6%).

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

$1.838 per $100 assessed

$1.254 Schools · 68% $0.246 County · 13% $0.339 Town · 18%

This home's own bill implies $1.715 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$7,381

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Mendham pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
