The Fair Share Report

2 Independence Ct

Jackson, NJ 08701

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

≈ $368,993

Likely range $327,752 – $506,792, from 12 comparable Jackson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

99.40%

The state's official measure of how far Jackson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $368,993 home should be assessed near $366,779.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$378,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $11,421 above what the ratio math suggests (3.1%).

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

$1.386 per $100 assessed

$0.781 Schools · 56% $0.320 County · 23% $0.284 Town · 21%

Step 5 · The bill

$5,647/yr
Public schools$3,184
