The Fair Share Report

24 Pine Ave

Madison, NJ 07940

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

≈ $1,097,655

Likely range $902,376 – $1,297,171, from 12 comparable Madison sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.22%

The state's official measure of how far Madison assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,097,655 home should be assessed near $661,008.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$516,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $144,308 below what the ratio math suggests (21.8%).

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

$2.254 per $100 assessed

$1.423 Schools · 63% $0.350 County · 16% $0.481 Town · 21%
