The Fair Share Report

222 E 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

≈ $677,659

Likely range $566,255 – $729,938, 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 $677,659 home should be assessed near $631,985.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$485,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $146,385 below what the ratio math suggests (23.2%).

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 $2.014 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Bound Brook pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
