The Fair Share Report

2016 Rt 47

Dennis, NJ 08202

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

≈ $328,340

Likely range $288,215 – $374,743, from 12 comparable Dennis sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.28%

The state's official measure of how far Dennis assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $328,340 home should be assessed near $217,624.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$195,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $22,224 below what the ratio math suggests (10.2%).

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

$2.145 per $100 assessed

$1.568 Schools · 73% $0.317 County · 15% $0.260 Town · 12%

Step 5 · The bill

$4,584/yr
