The Fair Share Report

301 Mill Rd

Upper, NJ 08270

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

≈ $399,955

Likely range $330,627 – $508,291, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,581 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $399,955 home should be assessed near $226,575.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$260,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $33,525 above what the ratio math suggests (14.8%).

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%
