The Fair Share Report

24 Pine St

Bernards, NJ 07920

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

≈ $911,101

Likely range $880,731 – $1,041,289, from 12 comparable Bernards sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,134 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.12%

The state's official measure of how far Bernards assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $911,101 home should be assessed near $866,639.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$775,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $90,939 below what the ratio math suggests (10.5%).

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

$1.687 per $100 assessed

$1.095 Schools · 65% $0.308 County · 18% $0.285 Town · 17%

This home's own bill implies $1.589 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 Bernards pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
