The Fair Share Report

159 Maple Rd

Franklin, NJ 07416

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

≈ $476,007

Likely range $424,623 – $542,554, from 12 comparable Franklin sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

89.85%

The state's official measure of how far Franklin assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $476,007 home should be assessed near $427,692.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$438,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $11,108 above what the ratio math suggests (2.6%).

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

$2.515 per $100 assessed

$1.327 Schools · 53% $0.422 County · 17% $0.765 Town · 30%

This home's own bill implies $2.289 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$5,302
Sussex County$1,686
