The Fair Share Report

2500 E Edgar Rd

Linden, NJ 08758

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

≈ $571,153

Likely range $432,382 – $743,951, from 12 comparable Linden sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

24.64%

The state's official measure of how far Linden assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $571,153 home should be assessed near $140,732.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$143,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $2,568 above what the ratio math suggests (1.8%).

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

$7.344 per $100 assessed

$3.319 Schools · 45% $1.310 County · 18% $2.715 Town · 37%

Linden also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $7.844 per $100 all-in (+$0.500).

Step 5 · The bill

$10,525/yr
Public schools$4,757
Union County$1,877
Town of Linden$3,891

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Linden's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
