The Fair Share Report

29 E Seaview Ave

Upper, NJ 08248

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

≈ $1,216,177

Likely range $920,785 – $1,883,797, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,216,177 home should be assessed near $688,964.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$2,561,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,872,436 above what the ratio math suggests (271.8%).

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

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%

Step 5 · The bill
