The Fair Share Report

190 Mountain Ave

Summit, NJ 07901

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

≈ $3,605,484

Likely range $3,470,714 – $4,450,335, from 12 comparable Summit sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 4,859 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

30.81%

The state's official measure of how far Summit assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $3,605,484 home should be assessed near $1,110,850.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$668,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $442,750 below what the ratio math suggests (39.9%).

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

$4.470 per $100 assessed

$2.335 Schools · 52% $1.092 County · 24% $1.043 Town · 23%

Summit also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $4.654 per $100 all-in (+$0.184).

Step 5 · The bill

$29,871/yr
Public schools$15,604
Union County$7,297

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Summit pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
