The Fair Share Report

2 Jonathan Dr

Hamilton, NJ 08619

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

≈ $404,012

Likely range $295,469 – $463,923, from 12 comparable Hamilton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.32%

The state's official measure of how far Hamilton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $404,012 home should be assessed near $247,740.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$212,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $34,840 below what the ratio math suggests (14.1%).

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

$3.708 per $100 assessed

$1.510 Schools · 41% $0.831 County · 22% $1.367 Town · 37%

Step 5 · The bill

$7,894/yr
Public schools$3,215
Mercer County$1,769
Town of Hamilton$2,910
Hamilton average$8,075

Paying about right

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