The Fair Share Report

175 Devoe Ave

Spotswood, NJ 08884

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

≈ $511,974

Likely range $397,258 – $562,360, from 12 comparable Spotswood sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

54.51%

The state's official measure of how far Spotswood assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $511,974 home should be assessed near $279,077.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$248,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $30,277 below what the ratio math suggests (10.8%).

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

$3.792 per $100 assessed

$2.042 Schools · 54% $0.582 County · 15% $1.167 Town · 31%
