The Fair Share Report

218 Sylvan Ave

Gloucester, NJ 08030

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

≈ $255,677

Likely range $220,401 – $304,106, from 12 comparable Gloucester City sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.80%

The state's official measure of how far Gloucester City assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $255,677 home should be assessed near $145,225.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$125,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $19,725 below what the ratio math suggests (13.6%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Gloucester City home

$5.292 per $100 assessed

$1.323 Schools · 25% $0.921 County · 17% $3.048 Town · 58%
