The Fair Share Report

2 Mitchell St

Belleville, NJ 07109

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

≈ $574,630

Likely range $521,018 – $616,551, from 12 comparable Belleville sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

59.13%

The state's official measure of how far Belleville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $574,630 home should be assessed near $339,779.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$328,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $10,879 below what the ratio math suggests (3.2%).

$4.156 per $100 assessed

$1.652 Schools · 40% $0.541 County · 13% $1.963 Town · 47%
