The Fair Share Report

209 E Atlantic 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

≈ $295,052

Likely range $265,822 – $367,340, 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 $295,052 home should be assessed near $189,099.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$179,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $9,599 below what the ratio math suggests (5.1%).

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

$3,881/yr
Public schools$2,144
Cape May County$576
Town of Middle$1,161

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.
