The Fair Share Report
16 Brewhaus La
Upper, NJ 08230
The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
A touch high — but not appeal-worthy
Above most of Upper, but below NJ's legal appeal line (65.15%), where a case becomes winnable.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $353,841 – $585,633, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $402,928 home should be assessed near $228,259.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $140,341 above what the ratio math suggests (61.5%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Upper home
$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%
Step 5 · The bill
