The Fair Share Report

204 Second St

Middlesex, NJ 08846

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

≈ $504,583

Likely range $467,574 – $524,733, from 12 comparable Middlesex sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.52%

The state's official measure of how far Middlesex assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $504,583 home should be assessed near $492,069.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$419,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $72,869 below what the ratio math suggests (14.8%).

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

$2.119 per $100 assessed

$1.137 Schools · 54% $0.340 County · 16% $0.643 Town · 30%

This home's own bill implies $1.927 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,079/yr
Public schools$4,333
Middlesex County$1,296
Town of Middlesex$2,450

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Middlesex pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
