The Fair Share Report

20 Maple St

Edgewater, NJ 07020

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

≈ $915,382

Likely range $804,198 – $1,130,336, from 12 comparable Edgewater sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

89.49%

The state's official measure of how far Edgewater assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $915,382 home should be assessed near $819,175.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,058,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $239,425 above what the ratio math suggests (29.2%).

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

$1.645 per $100 assessed

$0.714 Schools · 43% $0.247 County · 15% $0.683 Town · 42%

This home's own bill implies $1.584 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).
