The Fair Share Report

16 Ruby Ct

Piscataway, NJ 08854

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

≈ $578,491

Likely range $497,705 – $633,062, from 12 comparable Piscataway sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

89.85%

The state's official measure of how far Piscataway assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $578,491 home should be assessed near $519,774.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$522,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $3,126 above what the ratio math suggests (0.6%).

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

$1.750 per $100 assessed

$0.919 Schools · 53% $0.354 County · 20% $0.477 Town · 27%

This home's own bill implies $1.556 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$4,273
