The Fair Share Report

183 E Broadway

Salem, NJ 08079

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

≈ $136,741

Likely range $92,047 – $227,731, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

49.82%

The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $136,741 home should be assessed near $68,124.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$32,920

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $35,204 below what the ratio math suggests (51.7%).

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

$8.627 per $100 assessed

$2.297 Schools · 27% $2.023 County · 23% $4.308 Town · 50%

This home's own bill implies $6.799 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$596
Salem County$525

Paying about right
