The Fair Share Report

124 E 3rd St

Ship Bottom, NJ 08008

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

≈ $1,264,144

Likely range $1,109,482 – $1,385,756, from 12 comparable Ship Bottom sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

53.09%

The state's official measure of how far Ship Bottom assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,264,144 home should be assessed near $671,134.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$756,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $84,966 above what the ratio math suggests (12.7%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Ship Bottom home

$1.241 per $100 assessed

$0.249 Schools · 20% $0.567 County · 46% $0.425 Town · 34%

This home's own bill implies $1.208 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Ship Bottom, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (61.05%).
