The Fair Share Report

26 Second St

Dover, NJ 07801

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

≈ $339,594

Likely range $256,197 – $349,297, from 12 comparable Dover sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 691 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.38%

The state's official measure of how far Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $339,594 home should be assessed near $208,443.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$151,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $57,043 below what the ratio math suggests (27.4%).

$1.500 Schools · 43% $0.346 County · 10% $1.643 Town · 47%
