The Fair Share Report

2 Millbrook Rd

Hope, NJ 07044

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

≈ $320,388

Likely range $302,375 – $460,037, from 12 comparable Hope sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

59.84%

The state's official measure of how far Hope assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $320,388 home should be assessed near $191,720.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$227,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $35,480 above what the ratio math suggests (18.5%).

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

$3.465 per $100 assessed

$2.159 Schools · 62% $0.883 County · 25% $0.424 Town · 12%

Step 5 · The bill

$7,875/yr
Public schools$4,905
