The Fair Share Report

1503 Third Ave

Upper Deerfield, NJ 08302

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

≈ $153,840

Likely range $109,915 – $196,988, from 12 comparable Upper Deerfield sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

69.30%

The state's official measure of how far Upper Deerfield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $153,840 home should be assessed near $106,611.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$82,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $23,711 below what the ratio math suggests (22.2%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Upper Deerfield home

$3.290 per $100 assessed

$1.925 Schools · 59% $1.176 County · 36% $0.189 Town · 6%

This home's own bill implies $2.991 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$1,451
