The Fair Share Report

16 Hillside Ct

Union, NJ 08809

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

≈ $368,540

Likely range $347,913 – $424,118, from 12 comparable Union sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

86.66%

The state's official measure of how far Union assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $368,540 home should be assessed near $319,377.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$243,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $76,177 below what the ratio math suggests (23.9%).

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

$2.196 per $100 assessed

$1.570 Schools · 72% $0.386 County · 18% $0.239 Town · 11%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Union pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
