The Fair Share Report

205 Third 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

≈ $578,320

Likely range $522,827 – $616,888, 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 $578,320 home should be assessed near $563,978.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$523,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $40,378 below what the ratio math suggests (7.2%).

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 $1.997 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$10,456/yr
Public schools$5,608
Middlesex County$1,677
Town of Middlesex$3,171
