The Fair Share Report

328 Briar Patch

Mountainside, NJ 07092

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

≈ $1,015,951

Likely range $870,767 – $1,268,753, from 12 comparable Mountainside sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

71.29%

The state's official measure of how far Mountainside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,015,951 home should be assessed near $724,271.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$654,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $70,171 below what the ratio math suggests (9.7%).

$2.099 per $100 assessed

$1.023 Schools · 49% $0.482 County · 23% $0.594 Town · 28%
