The Fair Share Report

3 Spring St

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

≈ $557,955

Likely range $527,260 – $611,103, 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 $557,955 home should be assessed near $308,772.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$554,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $245,828 above what the ratio math suggests (79.6%).

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 $2.260 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Step 5 · The bill

$12,535/yr
Public schools$6,996
Sussex County$1,846
Town of Stanhope$3,694

Looks meaningfully over-assessed
