The Fair Share Report

27 Handler Ct

Montgomery, NJ 08502

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

≈ $1,766,957

Likely range $1,708,222 – $2,044,511, from 12 comparable Montgomery sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.24%

The state's official measure of how far Montgomery assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,766,957 home should be assessed near $993,737.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$924,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $69,737 below what the ratio math suggests (7.0%).

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

$3.437 per $100 assessed

$2.335 Schools · 68% $0.583 County · 17% $0.519 Town · 15%

$32,238/yr
