The Fair Share Report

22 Third St

Butler, NJ 07405

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

≈ $570,588

Likely range $449,854 – $667,262, from 12 comparable Butler sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

87.00%

The state's official measure of how far Butler assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $570,588 home should be assessed near $496,412.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$426,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $69,912 below what the ratio math suggests (14.1%).

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

$2.511 per $100 assessed

$1.555 Schools · 62% $0.252 County · 10% $0.704 Town · 28%

This home's own bill implies $2.412 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

Public schools$6,371
Morris County$1,032
