The Fair Share Report

191 Perry Rd

Upper, NJ 08270

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

≈ $524,444

Likely range $440,706 – $563,945, 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 $524,444 home should be assessed near $297,098.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$301,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $4,502 above what the ratio math suggests (1.5%).

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

$6,983/yr
Public schools$5,000

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.
