The Fair Share Report

1908 S Commonwealth Ave

Upper, NJ 08107

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

≈ $480,032

Likely range $315,894 – $795,809, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $480,032 home should be assessed near $271,938.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$382,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $110,462 above what the ratio math suggests (40.6%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

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

Step 5 · The bill

$8,941/yr
Public schools$6,402

Paying about right

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