The Fair Share Report

16 Cir Dr

Rumson, NJ 08005

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

≈ $4,503,627

Likely range $3,222,532 – $5,183,521, from 12 comparable Rumson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

96.70%

The state's official measure of how far Rumson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $4,503,627 home should be assessed near $4,355,007.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$3,674,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $680,907 below what the ratio math suggests (15.6%).

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

$1.049 per $100 assessed

$0.594 Schools · 57% $0.210 County · 20% $0.245 Town · 23%

This home's own bill implies $0.930 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$19,358
