The Fair Share Report

2 E Elro Dr

Jefferson, NJ 07438

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

≈ $630,603

Likely range $557,781 – $693,824, from 12 comparable Jefferson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

69.72%

The state's official measure of how far Jefferson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $630,603 home should be assessed near $439,656.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$458,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $18,544 above what the ratio math suggests (4.2%).

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

$3.003 per $100 assessed

$1.809 Schools · 60% $0.295 County · 10% $0.899 Town · 30%

Step 5 · The bill

$14,223/yr
Public schools$8,568

Town of Jefferson$4,258
Jefferson average$9,952

Paying about right
