The Fair Share Report

19 Ortlieb La

Upper, NJ 08230

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

≈ $698,677

Likely range $606,619 – $857,143, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,040 sq ft.

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 $698,677 home should be assessed near $395,801.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$361,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $33,901 below what the ratio math suggests (8.6%).

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