The Fair Share Report

3 E Dr

Stanhope, NJ 07874

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

≈ $405,613

Likely range $313,212 – $475,043, from 12 comparable Stanhope sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

55.34%

The state's official measure of how far Stanhope assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $405,613 home should be assessed near $224,466.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$373,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $149,134 above what the ratio math suggests (66.4%).

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

$4.659 per $100 assessed

$2.600 Schools · 56% $0.686 County · 15% $1.373 Town · 29%

This home's own bill implies $1.915 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$7,153/yr
Public schools$3,992
Sussex County$1,053
Town of Stanhope$2,108
Stanhope average$9,090

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (63.64%) — roughly $6,948/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
