The Fair Share Report

18 Oak St

Upper, NJ 08223

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

≈ $438,190

Likely range $301,042 – $507,426, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $438,190 home should be assessed near $248,235.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$223,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $24,535 below what the ratio math suggests (9.9%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

Step 5 · The bill

$5,405/yr
Public schools$3,870
Cape May County$777
Town of Upper$758
Upper average$6,686

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Upper's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
