The Fair Share Report
25 Ruby Ln
East Hanover, NJ 07936
The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
Good news — this home pays less than its share
Its assessment sits low relative to what homes like it actually sell for. An appeal would only invite a fresh look at a number working in the owner's favor.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $589,309 – $728,403, from 12 comparable East Hanover sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far East Hanover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $659,211 home should be assessed near $338,900.

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $120,800 below what the ratio math suggests (35.6%).
