The Fair Share Report

35 C 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

≈ $548,554

Likely range $486,902 – $630,841, from 12 comparable Middlesex sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,800 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 $548,554 home should be assessed near $534,950.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$558,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $23,950 above what the ratio math suggests (4.5%).

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 $2.067 per $100 — below the general rate, usually a deduction on the bill (senior, veteran, disabled).

Step 5 · The bill

$11,554/yr
Public schools$6,197
Middlesex County$1,853
Town of Middlesex$3,504
Middlesex average$10,237

Paying about right
