The Fair Share Report

220 E Second St

Bound Brook, NJ 08805

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

≈ $252,558

Likely range $232,121 – $304,615, from 12 comparable Bound Brook sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

93.26%

The state's official measure of how far Bound Brook assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $252,558 home should be assessed near $235,536.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$254,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $18,764 above what the ratio math suggests (8.0%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Bound Brook home

$2.206 per $100 assessed

$1.107 Schools · 50% $0.345 County · 16% $0.753 Town · 34%

This home's own bill implies $2.112 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$5,370/yr
Public schools$2,696
Somerset County$840
Town of Bound Brook$1,834
Bound Brook average$9,877
