The Fair Share Report

3003 Hemlock Pl

Bernards, NJ 07920

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

≈ $467,928

Likely range $423,624 – $504,238, from 12 comparable Bernards sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.12%

The state's official measure of how far Bernards assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $467,928 home should be assessed near $445,093.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$379,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $66,093 below what the ratio math suggests (14.8%).

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

$1.687 per $100 assessed

$1.095 Schools · 65% $0.308 County · 18% $0.285 Town · 17%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Bernards pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
