The Fair Share Report

308 John St

Middlesex, NJ 08846

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

≈ $463,912

Likely range $398,285 – $528,227, from 12 comparable Middlesex sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.52%

The state's official measure of how far Middlesex assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $463,912 home should be assessed near $452,407.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$427,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $25,207 below what the ratio math suggests (5.6%).

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

$2.119 per $100 assessed

$1.137 Schools · 54% $0.340 County · 16% $0.643 Town · 30%

This home's own bill implies $1.963 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,387/yr
Public schools$4,498
Middlesex County$1,345
Town of Middlesex$2,544
Middlesex average$10,237

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Middlesex's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
