The Fair Share Report

137 Rumson Rd

Rumson, NJ 07760

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

≈ $1,499,348

Likely range $1,213,646 – $1,944,780, from 12 comparable Rumson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

96.70%

The state's official measure of how far Rumson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,499,348 home should be assessed near $1,449,870.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,832,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $382,730 above what the ratio math suggests (26.4%).

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

$1.049 per $100 assessed

$0.594 Schools · 57% $0.210 County · 20% $0.245 Town · 23%

This home's own bill implies $0.969 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
