The Fair Share Report

3 E Main

High Bridge, NJ 08559

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

≈ $464,530

Likely range $408,688 – $554,966, from 12 comparable High Bridge sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

92.57%

The state's official measure of how far High Bridge assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $464,530 home should be assessed near $430,015.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$400,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $29,615 below what the ratio math suggests (6.9%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every High Bridge home

$3.324 per $100 assessed

$2.160 Schools · 65% $0.387 County · 12% $0.777 Town · 23%

This home's own bill implies $2.987 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$11,960/yr
Public schools$7,772
Hunterdon County$1,392
Town of High Bridge$2,796
High Bridge average$11,299
