The Fair Share Report

331 Mitchell Ave

Linden, NJ 07036

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

≈ $633,133

Likely range $590,183 – $791,875, from 12 comparable Linden sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

24.64%

The state's official measure of how far Linden assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $633,133 home should be assessed near $156,004.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$201,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $44,996 above what the ratio math suggests (28.8%).

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

$7.344 per $100 assessed

$3.319 Schools · 45% $1.310 County · 18% $2.715 Town · 37%

Linden also levies a Special Improvement District charge inside its district boundaries — the county roll doesn't say which homes are in it, but a bill's "IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT" line does. District homes pay $7.844 per $100 all-in (+$0.500).

Step 5 · The bill

$14,763/yr
Public schools$6,672
Union County$2,633

Paying about right

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