The Fair Share Report

279 Float Ave

Stafford, NJ 08050

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

≈ $603,704

Likely range $488,292 – $912,974, from 12 comparable Stafford sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,800 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

51.85%

The state's official measure of how far Stafford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $603,704 home should be assessed near $313,021.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$425,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $112,279 above what the ratio math suggests (35.9%).

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

$2.623 per $100 assessed

$1.048 Schools · 40% $0.603 County · 23% $0.972 Town · 37%

This home's own bill implies $1.296 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Public schools$2,203

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Stafford pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
