The Fair Share Report

19 Sullivan Dr

Bernards, NJ 07920

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

≈ $1,361,808

Likely range $1,218,418 – $1,553,440, from 12 comparable Bernards sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,025 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.12%

The state's official measure of how far Bernards assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,361,808 home should be assessed near $1,295,352.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,204,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $90,452 below what the ratio math suggests (7.0%).

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

$1.687 per $100 assessed

$1.095 Schools · 65% $0.308 County · 18% $0.285 Town · 17%

This home's own bill implies $1.622 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Public schools$12,681
Somerset County$3,567
