The Fair Share Report

12 Third Ave

Bridgewater, NJ 08807

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

≈ $386,333

Likely range $343,676 – $431,631, from 12 comparable Bridgewater sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

86.72%

The state's official measure of how far Bridgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $386,333 home should be assessed near $335,028.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$300,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $34,228 below what the ratio math suggests (10.2%).

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

$1.901 per $100 assessed

$1.294 Schools · 68% $0.364 County · 19% $0.244 Town · 13%

This home's own bill implies $1.856 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$5,583/yr
Public schools$3,798
Somerset County$1,068
Town of Bridgewater$716

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Bridgewater's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
