The Fair Share Report

2 Delaware Ave

Middle, NJ 08251

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

≈ $523,036

Likely range $427,719 – $603,005, from 12 comparable Middle sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.09%

The state's official measure of how far Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $523,036 home should be assessed near $335,214.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$431,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $96,186 above what the ratio math suggests (28.7%).

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

$2.082 per $100 assessed

$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%

Step 5 · The bill

$9,845/yr
Public schools$5,438

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Middle, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (73.70%).
