The Fair Share Report

16 Elycroft Ave E

Rockaway, NJ 07866

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

≈ $467,214

Likely range $412,576 – $522,387, from 12 comparable Rockaway sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

67.26%

The state's official measure of how far Rockaway assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $467,214 home should be assessed near $314,248.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$245,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $68,848 below what the ratio math suggests (21.9%).

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

$3.368 per $100 assessed

$2.087 Schools · 62% $0.315 County · 9% $0.966 Town · 29%
