The Fair Share Report

314 E Broadway

Salem, NJ 08079

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

≈ $122,076

Likely range $43,552 – $194,375, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

49.82%

The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $122,076 home should be assessed near $60,818.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$18,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $42,218 below what the ratio math suggests (69.4%).

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

$8.627 per $100 assessed

$2.297 Schools · 27% $2.023 County · 23% $4.308 Town · 50%

Step 5 · The bill

$1,605/yr
Public schools$427
Salem County$376

Paying about right

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