The Fair Share Report

2 Redwish Ave

Upper, NJ 08223

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

≈ $636,538

Likely range $549,134 – $661,991, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $636,538 home should be assessed near $360,599.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$425,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $65,001 above what the ratio math suggests (18.0%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

Step 5 · The bill

$10,283/yr
Public schools$7,363
Cape May County$1,478
Town of Upper$1,442
Upper average$6,686

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Upper, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (65.15%).
