The Fair Share Report

32 Central Ave

Dover, NJ 07801

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

≈ $468,263

Likely range $455,632 – $598,815, from 12 comparable Dover sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.38%

The state's official measure of how far Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $468,263 home should be assessed near $287,420.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$230,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $56,620 below what the ratio math suggests (19.7%).

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

$3.489 per $100 assessed

$1.500 Schools · 43% $0.346 County · 10% $1.643 Town · 47%

Step 5 · The bill

$8,055/yr
Public schools$3,463
Morris County$799
Town of Dover$3,793
Dover average$8,409

Paying about right
