The Fair Share Report

334 E Rd

Middletown, NJ 07718

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

≈ $760,843

Likely range $669,493 – $807,623, from 12 comparable Middletown sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

98.35%

The state's official measure of how far Middletown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $760,843 home should be assessed near $748,289.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$872,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $124,611 above what the ratio math suggests (16.7%).

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

$1.614 per $100 assessed

$0.990 Schools · 61% $0.195 County · 12% $0.429 Town · 27%

This home's own bill implies $1.452 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$12,678/yr
Public schools$7,776
Monmouth County$1,532
Town of Middletown$3,370
Middletown average$11,743

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 $2,011/yr at stake. NJ appeals are generally due April 1.
