The Fair Share Report

20 Pine St

Dover, NJ 07801

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

≈ $513,419

Likely range $439,857 – $553,081, from 12 comparable Dover sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.38%

The state's official measure of how far Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $513,419 home should be assessed near $315,137.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$234,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $80,237 below what the ratio math suggests (25.5%).

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

$3.489 per $100 assessed

$1.500 Schools · 43% $0.346 County · 10% $1.643 Town · 47%

Step 5 · The bill

$8,198/yr
Public schools$3,525
Morris County$813
Town of Dover$3,861

Paying about right
