The Fair Share Report

34 Decou Ave

Ewing, NJ 08628

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

≈ $401,513

Likely range $357,425 – $471,355, from 12 comparable Ewing sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

63.20%

The state's official measure of how far Ewing assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $401,513 home should be assessed near $253,756.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$224,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $28,956 below what the ratio math suggests (11.4%).

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

$4.051 per $100 assessed

$2.100 Schools · 52% $0.894 County · 22% $1.057 Town · 26%

This home's own bill implies $3.940 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$8,857/yr
Public schools$4,591
Mercer County$1,955
Town of Ewing$2,311
Ewing average$8,367

Paying about right

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