The Fair Share Report

309 E Pacific Ave

Middle, NJ 08230

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

≈ $454,491

Likely range $408,656 – $539,677, from 12 comparable Middle sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,392 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.09%

The state's official measure of how far Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $454,491 home should be assessed near $291,283.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$232,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $59,283 below what the ratio math suggests (20.4%).

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

$2.082 per $100 assessed

$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%
