The Fair Share Report

205 Pershing Ave

Middle, NJ 08210

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

≈ $328,170

Likely range $241,962 – $383,464, from 12 comparable Middle sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.09%

The state's official measure of how far Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $328,170 home should be assessed near $210,324.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$167,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $42,524 below what the ratio math suggests (20.2%).

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

$2.082 per $100 assessed

$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%

Step 5 · The bill

$3,628/yr
Public schools$2,004

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Middle's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
