The Fair Share Report

140 Shell Rd

Commercial, NJ 08332

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

≈ $178,002

Likely range $137,617 – $275,080, from 12 comparable Commercial sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

80.53%

The state's official measure of how far Commercial assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $178,002 home should be assessed near $143,345.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$125,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $18,345 below what the ratio math suggests (12.8%).

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

$2.755 per $100 assessed

$0.905 Schools · 33% $1.146 County · 42% $0.704 Town · 26%

Step 5 · The bill

$3,929/yr
Public schools$1,291

Paying about right

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