The Fair Share Report

18 Patrick Dr

Union, NJ 08867

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

≈ $1,031,096

Likely range $787,650 – $1,153,117, from 12 comparable Union sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

86.66%

The state's official measure of how far Union assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,031,096 home should be assessed near $893,548.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$807,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $85,648 below what the ratio math suggests (9.6%).

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

$2.196 per $100 assessed

$1.570 Schools · 72% $0.386 County · 18% $0.239 Town · 11%

Step 5 · The bill

$17,750/yr
Public schools$12,696
Hunterdon County$3,121
