The Fair Share Report

330 First St

Middlesex, NJ 08846

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

≈ $306,087

Likely range $233,244 – $364,557, from 12 comparable Middlesex sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 768 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.52%

The state's official measure of how far Middlesex assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $306,087 home should be assessed near $298,496.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$452,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $154,004 above what the ratio math suggests (51.6%).

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

$2.119 per $100 assessed

$1.137 Schools · 54% $0.340 County · 16% $0.643 Town · 30%

This home's own bill implies $2.048 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$9,267/yr
Public schools$4,970
Middlesex County$1,486
Town of Middlesex$2,811
Middlesex average$10,237

Looks meaningfully over-assessed

Even at the generous end of the range, this home's ratio clears the Chapter 123 appeal line (100.00%) — roughly $3,263/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
