The Fair Share Report

18 Mitchell Rd

Hackettstown, NJ 07840

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

≈ $483,814

Likely range $477,959 – $536,358, from 12 comparable Hackettstown sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

74.38%

The state's official measure of how far Hackettstown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $483,814 home should be assessed near $359,861.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$264,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $95,161 below what the ratio math suggests (26.4%).

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

$3.477 per $100 assessed

$2.070 Schools · 60% $0.676 County · 19% $0.731 Town · 21%

This home's own bill implies $3.383 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,954/yr
Public schools$5,330
Warren County$1,741
Town of Hackettstown$1,882
