The Fair Share Report

30 Maple Ave

Mendham, NJ 07945

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

≈ $1,868,434

Likely range $1,491,296 – $2,298,112, from 12 comparable Mendham sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

71.81%

The state's official measure of how far Mendham assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,868,434 home should be assessed near $1,341,722.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,113,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $228,622 below what the ratio math suggests (17.0%).

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

$2.526 per $100 assessed

$1.661 Schools · 66% $0.302 County · 12% $0.563 Town · 22%
