The Fair Share Report

2 E St

South River, NJ 08882

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

≈ $526,613

Likely range $458,773 – $574,091, from 12 comparable South River sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.61%

The state's official measure of how far South River assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $526,613 home should be assessed near $319,180.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$274,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $45,180 below what the ratio math suggests (14.2%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every South River home

$2.668 per $100 assessed

$1.315 Schools · 49% $0.515 County · 19% $0.838 Town · 31%

Step 5 · The bill

$7,313/yr
Public schools$3,604

Paying about right

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