The Fair Share Report

18 Walnut St

Morris, NJ 07960

The town catches up with market prices only once a year — and only based on the average change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

Good news — this home pays less than its share

Its assessment sits low relative to what homes like it actually sell for. An appeal would only invite a fresh look at a number working in the owner's favor.

Likely range $671,360 – $788,406, from 12 comparable Morris sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,700 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
