The Fair Share Report

151 Brookside Dr

Middletown, NJ 07718

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

≈ $633,927

Likely range $550,923 – $716,360, from 12 comparable Middletown sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

98.35%

The state's official measure of how far Middletown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $633,927 home should be assessed near $623,467.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$510,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $112,967 below what the ratio math suggests (18.1%).

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

$1.614 per $100 assessed

$0.990 Schools · 61% $0.195 County · 12% $0.429 Town · 27%

This home's own bill implies $1.458 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$4,564

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Middletown pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
