The Fair Share Report

19 S Ct

Union, NJ 08809

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

≈ $312,068

Likely range $283,847 – $328,750, 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 $312,068 home should be assessed near $270,438.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$210,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $59,538 below what the ratio math suggests (22.0%).

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

$4,633/yr
Public schools$3,314
Hunterdon County$815
Town of Union$505
Union average$10,880

Paying about right

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