The Fair Share Report

33 Third St

Butler, NJ 07405

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

≈ $541,953

Likely range $473,155 – $578,763, from 12 comparable Butler sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,580 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

87.00%

The state's official measure of how far Butler assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $541,953 home should be assessed near $471,499.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$567,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $96,201 above what the ratio math suggests (20.4%).

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

$2.511 per $100 assessed

$1.555 Schools · 62% $0.252 County · 10% $0.704 Town · 28%

This home's own bill implies $2.344 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$13,308/yr
Public schools$8,241
Morris County$1,336
Town of Butler$3,731
Butler average$11,114

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Butler, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (100.00%).
