The Fair Share Report

159 Ridge Rd

Hampton, NJ 07860

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

≈ $481,004

Likely range $418,733 – $517,685, from 12 comparable Hampton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.94%

The state's official measure of how far Hampton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $481,004 home should be assessed near $254,644.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$240,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $13,744 below what the ratio math suggests (5.4%).

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

$3.494 per $100 assessed

$2.229 Schools · 64% $0.704 County · 20% $0.561 Town · 16%

This home's own bill implies $3.391 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,169/yr
Public schools$5,212
Sussex County$1,646
Town of Hampton$1,312

Paying about right

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