The Fair Share Report

268 E 3rd Ave

Roselle, NJ 07203

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

≈ $592,528

Likely range $434,538 – $652,368, from 12 comparable Roselle sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

28.06%

The state's official measure of how far Roselle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $592,528 home should be assessed near $166,263.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$142,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $23,863 below what the ratio math suggests (14.4%).

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

$9.146 per $100 assessed

$3.297 Schools · 36% $1.177 County · 13% $4.673 Town · 51%
