The Fair Share Report

14 Memory Ln

Sparta, NJ 07871

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

≈ $587,943

Likely range $542,144 – $666,286, from 12 comparable Sparta sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

59.82%

The state's official measure of how far Sparta assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $587,943 home should be assessed near $351,708.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$305,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $46,008 below what the ratio math suggests (13.1%).

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

$3.667 per $100 assessed

$2.362 Schools · 64% $0.624 County · 17% $0.681 Town · 19%
