The Fair Share Report

128 Second St

Middlesex, NJ 08846

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

≈ $505,049

Likely range $405,018 – $541,654, from 12 comparable Middlesex sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.52%

The state's official measure of how far Middlesex assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $505,049 home should be assessed near $492,524.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$422,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $70,524 below what the ratio math suggests (14.3%).

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

$2.119 per $100 assessed

$1.137 Schools · 54% $0.340 County · 16% $0.643 Town · 30%

Step 5 · The bill
