The Fair Share Report

124 Butter Rd

Upper, NJ 08230

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

≈ $346,977

Likely range $260,784 – $380,224, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,119 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $346,977 home should be assessed near $196,562.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$197,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,038 above what the ratio math suggests (0.5%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

This home's own bill implies $2.163 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$4,274/yr
Public schools$3,060
Cape May County$614
Town of Upper$599

Paying about right

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