The Fair Share Report

2 Maple Rd

Byram, NJ 07821

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

≈ $412,976

Likely range $350,089 – $480,485, from 12 comparable Byram sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.12%

The state's official measure of how far Byram assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $412,976 home should be assessed near $240,022.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$175,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $64,822 below what the ratio math suggests (27.0%).

$4.018 per $100 assessed

$2.312 Schools · 58% $0.673 County · 17% $1.033 Town · 26%
