The Fair Share Report

304 Float Ave

Stafford, NJ 08050

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

≈ $648,128

Likely range $589,735 – $1,028,704, from 12 comparable Stafford sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,222 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

51.85%

The state's official measure of how far Stafford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $648,128 home should be assessed near $336,054.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$486,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $150,746 above what the ratio math suggests (44.9%).

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

$2.623 per $100 assessed

$1.048 Schools · 40% $0.603 County · 23% $0.972 Town · 37%

This home's own bill implies $1.313 per $100 — well off the general rate. That usually means the town revalued since the last bill.

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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