The Fair Share Report

17 E River Rd

Rumson, NJ 07760

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

≈ $1,969,024

Likely range $1,369,945 – $2,143,725, 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 $1,969,024 home should be assessed near $1,904,046.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,432,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $471,346 below what the ratio math suggests (24.8%).

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 $0.920 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
