The Fair Share Report

313 Second St

Trenton, NJ 08043

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

≈ $168,443

Likely range $132,410 – $222,529, from 12 comparable Trenton sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

53.53%

The state's official measure of how far Trenton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $168,443 home should be assessed near $90,168.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$55,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $34,768 below what the ratio math suggests (38.6%).

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

$5.889 per $100 assessed

$1.198 Schools · 20% $0.929 County · 16% $3.762 Town · 64%

Step 5 · The bill

$3,263/yr
Public schools$664

Paying about right
