The Fair Share Report

2 Springbrook Ter

Byram, NJ 07871

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

≈ $565,036

Likely range $498,706 – $629,416, 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 $565,036 home should be assessed near $328,399.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$309,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $19,399 below what the ratio math suggests (5.9%).

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

$4.018 per $100 assessed

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

This home's own bill implies $3.938 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$12,169/yr
Public schools$7,002
Sussex County$2,038
Town of Byram$3,128
Byram average$10,398

Paying about right
