The Fair Share Report

35 Ridge Rd

Summit, NJ 07901

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

≈ $1,396,731

Likely range $1,128,302 – $1,915,212, from 12 comparable Summit sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

30.81%

The state's official measure of how far Summit assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,396,731 home should be assessed near $430,333.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$604,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $174,467 above what the ratio math suggests (40.5%).

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

$4.470 per $100 assessed

$2.335 Schools · 52% $1.092 County · 24% $1.043 Town · 23%

Summit 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 $4.654 per $100 all-in (+$0.184).

Step 5 · The bill

$27,041/yr
Public schools$14,125
Union County$6,606
Town of Summit$6,309
Summit average$19,697

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Summit, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (35.43%).
