The Fair Share Report

178 Eileen Ln

Stafford, NJ 08050

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

≈ $217,265

Likely range $190,000 – $423,901, from 12 comparable Stafford sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,112 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

51.85%

The state's official measure of how far Stafford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $217,265 home should be assessed near $112,652.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$774,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $661,748 above what the ratio math suggests (587.4%).

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

$2.623 per $100 assessed

$1.048 Schools · 40% $0.603 County · 23% $0.972 Town · 37%

This home's own bill implies $1.087 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$8,420/yr
Public schools$3,364
Ocean County$1,936
Town of Stafford$3,120
Stafford average$7,775
