The Fair Share Report

172 Applegate Dr

Hamilton, NJ 08690

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

≈ $719,121

Likely range $666,204 – $766,647, from 12 comparable Hamilton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.32%

The state's official measure of how far Hamilton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $719,121 home should be assessed near $440,965.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$376,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $64,665 below what the ratio math suggests (14.7%).

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

$3.708 per $100 assessed

$1.510 Schools · 41% $0.831 County · 22% $1.367 Town · 37%

Step 5 · The bill

Paying about right
